The first piece in the puzzle of artist Daniel & Clara's Avebury Imaginary project, Notes From a Journey uses images and sounds captured during a journey through the British countryside to Avebury stone circle as the material for an exploration at the edges of human perception and reality. A film that has been described as a “visionary travelogue” and an “experimental folk horror”, Notes from a Journey invites viewers to take a trip through vivid colour fields, foreboding darkness, ancient mysteries and immersive soundscapes.
Mysterious transmissions, long-forgotten video posts, frozen images lodged in the mind, animation erupting from the unconscious – a programme of short artist films exploring the tensions between lived and imagined realities, with films by Adonia Bouchehri, Daniel & Clara, Duncan Poulton, Edwin Rostron.
Filmmakers and artists working with moving image are invited to submit short films for a screening event in Plymouth, UK.
Short experimental films and artists' moving image pieces under 20min in length will be considered for a programme that will aim to bring together perspectives exploring relationships of sensory experience with the world of moving image and sound.
I'm Here But I'm Not A Cat – a group exhibition exploring the tension between the digital and the material through works that express a desire to reconnect with lived experience and physical presence. Featuring artists Adonia Bouchehri, Daniel & Clara, Duncan Poulton, Edwin Rostron.
