Movie

Thought/Action

Initiated in 1996 and completed in 2026, this home-processed 16mm film was inspired by Marc Adrian’s Total (1968) and incorporates the voices of Moucle Blackout and László Dudás. Partially shot at Hearst’s San Simeon Castle, in Canada, and at the Royal Melbourne Show, the work explores the possibility of overcoming traumatic thought through material actions on the film surface. The temporal gap of its completion registers both the persistence of and resistance to traumatic experience.
