Shots in the Dark

A new live film commission from Midlands-based artist George Saxon.

The performance features room-height film loops containing carefully orchestrated hand-drawn abstract and pictorial symbols and signs in relation to the body, projected towards four performers who stand in the midst of the audience. The choreographed response of the performers’ actions in relation to the projected drawings align to the shock of the corresponding optical sounds, puncturing the cinematic darkness. Performers and audience are immersed in an artillery battery of light and sound. Commissioned by Vivid Projects.
