The Islands
Hsuan-Kuang Hsieh 9'50'' / 2016 / TAIWAN/ USA / 16mm / experimental The Islands is an experimental documentary which consists of mundane objects and 35mm film photographs I took in three islands: Inishimore (Ireland), Staten Island (United States) and Tsushima Island (Japan). By constructing, re-filming and hand animating the photographs and objects, island is no more an geographical term, but a state of mind. |
Hsuan-Kuang is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker, born and raised in Taiwan, currently living and working in Los Angeles. This dislocation from her homeland deeply influences the narrative of her work, in which she explores the complexity of multicultural identity, with particular attention to landscape as a source of identity. Hsuan-Kuang's work has been shown in both national and international venues, ranging from theatres and festivals to galleries and museums.

Heading Due North
John Barlow 5' 40'' / 2017 / UK / 16mm / experimental An experimental split-screen sequence of landscapes portrays a journey by overnight train from London to the mountain wilderness of the Scottish Highlands, and onwards by foot to the western shore of the Isle of Skye. The fractured nature of the sequence, blending linear and non-linear elements, and with its sometimes overlapping images and sounds, reflects how our recollections of long distance, physically tiring journeys often comprise disjointed and blurred memories of experiences. |
John Barlow: before recently completing a practice-based PhD in contemporary art, I worked for six years in UK politics, including roles at the UK Parliament, at the London Assembly and with the Labour Party in the South East of England.
My first short after graduating, 'Coastal Drift', was selected for the 'Crossing the Screen' film festival in the UK, screening at Eastbourne's Towner Art Gallery. An interest in landscape, travel and temporality can be found in most of my work. |
