Mall Emotions
Synopsis
Two loops taken from a French film promoting early shopping mall culture are bipacked and heavily manipulated beyond the lens to create a dreamlike dimensional space whose shadowed figure is forever travelling across the frame to find their way out of the delusion of capital. Performed with a single 16mm projector. Commissioned by the Sawdust Collector (a curatorial collective based in Vancouver) and performed with live audio by Clare Kenny.

In Manhattan's Central Park, a film crew directed by William Greaves is shooting a screen test with various pairs of actors. It's a confrontation between a couple: he demands to know what's wrong, she challenges his sexual orientation. Cameras shoot the exchange, and another camera records Greaves and his crew. Sometimes we watch the crew discussing this scene, its language, and the process of making a movie. Is there such a thing as natural language? Are all things related to sex?
