Trying Things Out

Trying Things Out was made during a 4 month residency at in the BBC archive. By juggling layers of imagery and context, much like a puppeteer, the film portrays the the playfulness of the collection/artists/director, moving images and scenery around with surprising results – ‘Trying Things Out’. It is partly autobiographical in that it reflects, by use of footage of people playing with machines and effecting imagery, that access to film archives can inspire new work, creating new dialogues where otherwise there may have been none.
