This selected program of my work focuses on light and color through the medium of film and performance. Using a variety of processes, light, and color have been captured, manipulated, and projected. Each work originated on 16mm film and was performed live using two or more 16mm projectors. The performances have since been reworked into the digital forms that we will see here. I have also included some documentary material in the program to demonstrate the analog processes used. Conversations, a new single-screen digital video, has its world premiere at the 59th AAFF.
Lynn Loo composes films in structural and narrative forms. Her pieces explore the raw and tactile aspects of moving images and sound, both in 16mm and digital formats. In 2004 she began a collaboration with Guy Sherwin, creating film performance works and touring with their programs to international venues like Punto de Vista International Documentary Film Festival of Navarra, Performa 13 (New York), and L’Âge d’Or (Brussels, Belgium.) She curates programs of artist films, most recently for Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions (Tokyo). She makes a living as a film conservationist and is currently working with artist and archivist Louise Curham on the preservation of film performances.
Changes in the autumn colors in my garden were filmed on a day of gentle breezes. I captured close-ups of the dramatic reds, oranges, and greens of the foliage with their shadows moving in this environment of light wind. The original piece is presented as a two-projector performance, one showing negative film and the other a positive print of the same film. The two images are superimposed. Working with filters and hands as masks, I perform a color play between the two worlds of positive and negative color. In this documentation version by Ben screened here, made with two cameras, one half of the screen shows the film performance while the other half shows me performing with the projectors. In 2019, the live performance of Autumn Fog was used as the focus of a study in the documentation and transmission of ephemeral artworks as part of a gallery exhibition The Stand-In Project with film artist and archivist Louise Curham of Canberra, Australia. This reenactment archival project is ongoing.
