51 PAINTINGS SUITE
Reconfiguring poses of characters from German Black Death plague era paintings through new places and time.
What first began as a single five minute video filmed in Germany in 2006 become a long term, ongoing video project intersecting nine slow films to what we now understand as a metamodern cinema. Through short and long form artefacts, each film imbues debate about trauma and rethought memory through an epistemological affect of a structure of reason (in metamodernism) from the connections and experiences we forge with the past. All films are public domain artefacts.
The 51 Paintings Suite is my current PhD (by prior published work) thesis titled 'Metamodern affect, trauma memory, and slow cinema in the 51 Paintings Suite' at Flinders University. See below for more information about my thesis.

ABOUT THE PhD
Award: PhD (by prior published work)
Host: Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia
Submission: October 2024
Its been 18 years since I first started working on this project and have now consolidated the extensive nine feature film body of work into a PhD that retrospectively looks back on the dossier of films to find a conclusion to the context and impact as a collection of published research. In doing so, I have discovered an affectual model for metamodern film based on an epistemological structure of reason that offered both a new way to comprehend trauma memory in slow films but also, define a new way to access affect in metamodernism. Drawing from hundreds of hours of footage filmed across Germany, England and Australia, these films give way to a new understanding of slowness as a significant discovery about metamodern cinema.
