We were asked by Smilijana to find two poems that we found interesting and that could be possible inspiration for brief 3. The Shadow Gallery Brett Dionysius for Nathan Shepherdson It starts with a sun. A cutlass of light slashes at your head & runs your shadow up your body’s length; a pirate’s black flag. When embracing your lover, your shadows fall in love again & meld into each other like droplets of dark water pooling. Shadows are where the old gods took refuge hiding in plain sight. They are immortal so long as there is a body of faith. You are not. Your shadow sticks to you like a pilot fish or a lamprey. You sustain it & take it for a ride. Your shadow cannot carry you. Gravity does not affect your shadow. It is not a thing as we know it. It does not have molecules, only the shadows of molecules. The fundamental laws that govern the universe, do not govern it. You are t...

Attached is Me, Lucy and Ada's presentation for brief 2. We decided to create a theatre performance inspired by 'Potato' one of the short films from the other class. The hands washing the potatoes in milk, with the fake blood mixing with these textures reminded me of Shakespeare's Macbeth, in particular the scene in which Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking and trying to wash the blood off of her hands. We decided to present this piece of work in a classic theatre setting, with classic red theatre chairs, with red and gold trimmings. The seats would be in a semi-circle, with the stage elevated. The performance would feature Lady Macbeth in white clothing, with the projection of Potato over her figure. We also decided to simplify the plays language in order for it to appeal to a larger audience, and to give the audience a different Shakespeare experience than what they've ever had before. Below is our presentation. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-SYq5zcWU96Ce...

Brief Four readings

For Brief Four, I have been put into a group with Chris and Wenping. I haven't working with either of them yet, so I am interested and excited with how we will work together and what we will create. Brief Three is about using sound and image only, and steering away from the human body. As a group, we divided the readings up evenly. I read the introduction of Slow Cinema, by Tiago de Luca and I wrote dot-points about my findings and what I stood out to me as I read it. Slow Cinema: Based on the employment of (often extremely) long takes, de-centred and understated modes of storytelling, and a pronounced emphasis on quietude and the everyday. From 2010 there was much critical debate surrounding it. Boring, waste of time.  A large socio-cultural movement whose aim is to rescue extended temporal structures from the accelerated tempo of late capitalism Contemporary contemplative cinema An unstructured film movement made up of disparate films and practices that are conceptuali...
