Sliced Time explores sensory experiences of being within physical domestic spaces and the imagined world beyond, bought to life through the stories of others told along phone lines or hyperopic cables and digitally beamed into the artist’s personal world during the Summer and Autumn 2020. The film montages moving image, audio recordings, diary entries and photographs of spaces that became significant to the artist during lockdown, with those obtained from friends and family as they individually documented and archived their lives through mobile phone screens. The visual documentation is combined with excerpts from recorded phone conversations and reflections creating a space ‘where we collectively sought to make connections with each other and locate ourselves amidst the pandemic where time, geographies and formalities had been ruptured to create a new space for being.’ Sliced Time grapples with articulating the intimacy of micro moments when scale and measurable lateral time became distorted, compressed and sliced.
Sliced Time is best experienced on a bigger screen and with headphones.
