A virtual cube investigates different time spaces of a townscape interweaving the lives which cross through it. (...)

CYCLOID is an animation work representing a impermanence. I expressed the beauty of the changing times to draw a landscape animation by hand. I want to describe that accepting and enjoying the change would cause a full life. (...)

Filmed and recorded on location in Cumbria, Northern England. This project set out to explore the relationship between medium and subject. Taking as it’s starting point the traditional craft that still survives as the dominant method of construction in upland areas of Great Britain. This process and the landscape within which it exists was documented with 16mm film and analogue tape sound recording, in order to draw a parallel between content and medium, and in doing so examines the changing value that is attached to traditional crafts in the context of ever increasing availability of digital technology and mass produced materials.

A current runs underneath. It creeps under the door, makes its way into the cracks, revealing, obfuscating or breaking as clouds in the sky. Mountain, cave, river, forest and trap door; martial gestures, reiterated, stripped and rendered. A storm blows through. A parrot comments from a flowering branch.

An afternoon at the edge of a large film set somewhere out in the sticks in rural France. A trainee takes up his position. He is responsible for blocking off the street while filming is in process and reopening it to traffic as soon as the take is over. His only connection to the set is via walkie talkie. He begins to get bored. The mountains are magnificent. A tractor returns from the field. The trainee turns all the way round. Time passes slowly and we wait with him, merely observing the afternoon - without a single cut or a comma. (...)

(Pinakothek der Moderne) The film displays a conflict between the inner world of the protagonists and their working environment. (...)

Shot in a theme park in southwest China where little people work as performers in a fantastical variety show, the documentary captures the rhythms of everyday life as the mundane and the surreal overlap in the spaces of work and home. As a meditation on performance, the body, and imaginings of life elsewhere, The World (Outside) explores the relationship between a controversial institution of entertainment and its melancholy backstage. (...)

A girl and boy on separate sides of the world (NY & Amsterdam) both lead fantastical lives but are incapable of meeting. The film is loosely based on a Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner sketch where Wile E. paints a tunnel on a rock that the Roadrunner passes through.
It’s made using my own technique of projecting onto paper and then cutting out portions of the film to illustrate the hyperreal mediums that skew our vision. (...)
