A programme of new and recent experimental single-screen and expanded video works by Sophie Clements and Simon Payne, alongside new music by the composer Tim Parkinson, performed by the GBSR Duo.
Sophie Clements’ work is characterised by an attempt to capture elusive moments involving objects affected by gravity, changing light conditions, wind and rain. Carefully composed framings and highly edited sequences reveal chance arrangements.
Simon Payne’s abstract video works are predominantly orientated around bold graphic forms and structured patterns that produce unexpected colour combinations and conflicting planes. The systems that underpin his videos involve the entirety of the screen and every edge.
Tim Parkinson’s music exhibits a collage approach, often juxtaposing the sounds of found objects, various kinds of musical material, or snippets of speech: ‘What I want is a large and unforeseen diversity of pitches and intervals – randomness, patterns, shapes’.
Warning: Some performances might use strobes and/or flashing lights.
