EXPERIMENTAL

www.a-d-g-z.com

Dominic’s long-form experimental film www.a-d-g-z.com comprising of one continuous looping 53 minute shot, premiered at the Bookworks launch of the 2017 edition of The Happy Hypocrite, guest edited by artist Sophia Al Maria.

“A film, streaming live from www.a-d-g-z.com where it runs continuously twenty-four hours a day, depicts characters surveyed remotely, their actions followed, scrutinised and abandoned as they unfold over a sprawl of a desert town. With no clear markers of beginning or end, the work can be encountered multiple times; each meeting a discreet moment of engagement with its disordered storyline.” Bookworks

“I’ve been mesmerised by it. Past, present, future: it feels like a repressed memory, a frontline dispatch, a premonition….”  Sukhdev Sandhu

ROSE CHAN SCREEN TEST

Part of a month long artists’ residency with the Borneo Art Collective, which included leading a 2.5-day workshop with non-professional performers (members of the public in Kuching, Borneo) which featured emotional excavation through body and imagination.

A durational piece was then created to run over five hours, across a carefully curated two-storey gallery space, featuring three looping video installations, and two live interactive performance spaces. The work explored our dissociative relationship to media as well as the tension between the labels we are given / the roles we play and our direct sensory and emotional experience.
