Shoreditch 2006 (2021)
Shoreditch 2006 is an experimental portrait film constructed from personal archive footage recorded in East London during the mid-2000s. Revisiting material captured within a rapidly changing artistic community, the film combines moving image fragments, photographs, voice recordings and digital artefacts to reconstruct a particular social and cultural moment.
Structured around the reflections of Christophe, the work moves between portrait, memoir and urban document. Through layered imagery, degraded recordings and fragmented narratives, the film explores the relationship between memory and evidence, asking how people, places and identities persist through traces long after the original events have passed.
Rather than presenting a historical record, Shoreditch 2006 treats the archive as a living material. The film assembles partial memories, and overlooked details to create an impression of a time and place shaped by artistic experimentation, friendship, creative ambition and change.
The result is both a portrait of an individual and a record of a disappearing cultural landscape.
Where the Land Meets the Sea (2021)
Created during the Covid-19 pandemic, Where the Land Meets the Sea is an experimental film centred on the shifting boundary between land and ocean. Filmed along the Cornish coast, the work observes a landscape in continual transition, shaped by tide, weather, erosion and human presence.
Through moving image and sound, the film explores ecology, interdependence and the complex relationships that exist between people and the natural world. Attending to small changes, overlooked details and fleeting encounters, it reflects on the coastline as a place where multiple systems meet and influence one another.
Emerging from a period of slowed movement and heightened observation, the work considers how meaning and connection can be found through sustained attention to place.
Pareidolia at Porthmeor (2019)
Developed from materials collected along the Cornish coastline, Pareidolia at Porthmeor is an experimental film exploring perception, pattern recognition and the attribution of meaning. Created alongside a series of assemblages constructed from coastal flotsam, the work brings together moving image, sound and found objects gathered from the shoreline.
Attending to overlooked fragments and ambiguous forms, the film considers how significance emerges through acts of observation. Weathered objects, natural debris and traces of human activity become catalysts for interpretation, occupying a space between chance encounter and imagined narrative.
Moving between documentation and speculation, Pareidolia at Porthmeor reflects on the processes through which people construct meaning from the material world around them.
