Speculative Frictions is a media installation exploring constructed cinematic landscapes, narratives restructured though repurposed footage/sound and tropes of speculative fiction and surrealism. It comprises the works Petite histoire des plateaux abandonnés (di Martino), Handful of Dust (Tucker), 21 Chitrakoot (Kaul) and The Advice Shape (Thomas).

In this exhibition, facts and fictions are gloriously recombined or rehabilitated through the use of found or existing footage, sound and reenactments. A slipperiness of time and space propels existing and familiar narrative structures through the membrane that separates truth from fabrication. The resulting cognitive dissonance transcends conflicts between natural and invented landscapes, past and future, the real and anomalous: the bleed-through of artificial and constructed worlds onto the connatural is exalted.

Laura Rechwan, Nathaniel Churchill, Tai Dunkley-Whelon at Open Space



 

Vertical Gallery: Translation
PROJECT SPACE: March 13 - 28, 2015

ARTISTS: Laura Rechwan, Nathaniel Churchill, Tai Dunkley-Whelon
The Open Space Vertical Gallery project space presents Translation, an experimental immersive video installation by emerging artists Laura Rechwan, Nathaniel Churchill, Tai Dunkley-Whelon (Victoria, BC).

 To make a sound is to alter your environment.

Translation explores ideas of macro-micro and locale can be expressed through sound and video projection. How does the impact of our voices affect the space around us, as well as the consciousness of the viewer?

The parallel dynamics between the fluidity of sound and water are traversed through an aphonic five-hour group journey along the coastline of Victoria, followed by experimental instrument and vocal recordings.
