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 and were contextualised in my PhD Metamodern Affect, Trauma Memory, and Slow Cinema in The 51 Paintings Suite at Flinders University.
FILMIC MEMORIALS
Exploring place and domestic cinema through video art.
​
A collection of twenty feature length video artworks comprised of vintage home movies that were filmed in Standard 8mm film throughout Germany, Netherlands, UK, USA, the Pacific, Guam, and Australia between 1956-1986 by my grandfather Tony Barbone and in Super 8mm film throughout Victoria, Australia by my father Peter Wilson between 1974-1982. ​ The project produced video artworks of these journeys by exploring the relationship of place as a central character to and within the films asking 'how can a topographical analysis of place be situated within the films and their reconstructed other.
SUBLIME VOID
Investigating sublimity of maritime landscape through video art.
​
This practice-based research project examines slowness, the sublime, and maritime aesthetics through video art. It seeks to first explore slowness as a mechanism for the sublime; second, better understand the relationships with/among affect and historicity in maritime art as represented through the horizon line; and third, define by practice the sublime from oscillations between oceans/landforms.
9 CIRCLES
A twenty year project exploring the nine circles of hell in Dante's Inferno.
​
These works span across narrative and non-narrative tropes addressing aspects of Inferno from the original version of Dante's vision. Works to date include Black Garden, a 90 minute metamodern drama set against the backdrop of a nuclear war, Dark Garden a 27 episode streaming series in the vein of Black Garden deploying a ground breaking array of hybrid AI, live action, hand drawn animation, and virtual production techniques. In addition to these are nine video art installations currently in pre-production.
