Disorientation.

IMG_6685

In her essay on perspective, Hito Steryl looked at ‘Slave ship’, painted by Turner in 1840. This led me to look at the way in which Turner had depicted instability / disorientation with the loss of the horizon line. The painting challenges our view. Working with loss of control and disorientation I experimented by filming myself rolling on the floor and spinning. I was able to create a short simple film before collapsing! I tried projecting the spinning film onto the wall and performing in front of it.
