Sketches (2017) is an experimental film that collages oral history and archives with a fictional narrative to explore themes of displacement, lineage, and the construction of meaning.
Synopsis: A British artist fails to attend his parents' wedding anniversary in order to complete a last-minute commission to sketch beautiful landscapes across Cornwall, but guilt begins to affect his work along the way.
Studio is the interactive accompaniment to the film. While the film is a meditation on constructing meaning of 'foreign' history and geography, Studio encourages a deconstruction of that meaning. This is achieved by allowing you to explore and interrogate the audiovisual elements within the film in real-time, raising questions of information-authenticity and fact-fiction disparity in oral narratives. Studio is currently only available on desktop devices due to its complexity.
Charcoal is the next part of the project. It is a 'sequel' to the film in the form of an 18 track hip-hop mixtape, extending the meaning of the film from first-generation immigration to second-generation immigration. More info to come soon.
