On the 8th and 9th of June the school of Media, Arts and Humanities at the University of Sussex is presenting work of final year students from a variety of courses, such as media production, journalism, music and filmmaking. The event takes places at the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts in Brighton and is open to members of the public. I am excited to share that the department has chosen one of my audiovisual works to be part of the exhibition.
“A highlight of the academic year, the annual Undergraduate Showcase is a celebration of our students’ outstanding achievement.”
Dr Monika Metykova, Associate Dean (Engagement, Recruitment and Marketing)
“Emergency (What’s the time?)” is designed to convey a sense of urgency and inspire reflection. What is happening around us? Are we simply observing or actively involved? With our actions, are we being responsible? Drawing on practice from documentary as well as experimental filmmaking, the piece moves between abstract observation and first-person experience. It is designed to capture attention and to ‘suggest’ rather than ‘define.’ It is hoped that the experience leads to viewers pondering on the state of the world as well as their own lives and that it would encourage them to be intentional with their actions and the impact they make.
