Elle Burchill: Adrift is a selection of videos spanning from 2004 to 2018. Burchill's imagery consists of more than 25 single-channel, multi-screen and installation works. Burchill's videos might best be described by three categories: poetic personal cinema, experimental documents, and performance video, however, the boundaries often overlap. Burchill usually works with a hand-held camera using it as a telescope, a magnifying glass, and a mirror. The footage for these works was shot on mindv, HD, underwater camera, small sports camera, 4K camera, Burchill also incorporated screen grabs of glitches she triggered in one.

This very special online program goes live on Tuesday, September 22 at 7:00pm ET and remains available for one week.

Their research centers around non/human mythopoetics and queer aesthetics in twentieth- and twenty-first-century artists' literature, books, and cinema. In that direction, they recently published a commissioned essay on Stan VanDerBeek's computer-aided 16mm film series Poemfield (1967–1971). Also, among others, their essay on posthumanity in João Pedro Rodrigues's film, The Ornithologist (2016), will be published by Edinburgh University Press in early 2021.
