Treadmill – looped digital short
3 mins 48

Reanimated video footage; using tracking and stabilizing software the frame of the image has been manipulated to become the main player of the sequence. The inverted background creates a black box; the relationship of the viewer and the screen is exchanged; the world around my head moves up and down allowing me to stay still. The video loops from slow to fast to slow, forwards and then backwards trapping the viewer within an impenetrable loop.
