Language: No dialogue

  • Pivot

    Several years ago I came across a book by body language expert Joe Navarro where he describes physical gestures and how to determine whether someone is experiencing high stress or low stress with the ultimate aim of decoding whether someone is lying or telling the truth. Pivot is a recording of these enacted gestures after a computer algorithm has randomized them. The algorithm is based on an audio recording of morning birds where the randomness of the birds chirping was used to determine the randomness of the placement of gestures in the script.

  • Color Neutral

    A color explosion sparkles, bubbles, and fractures in this hand-crafted 16mm film.

Reeves’ soundtrack mixes samples from rusty, dusty old machines, records, and electric waves to create an aural passage through technological progress.

  • Landform 1

    Studies in motion, made red, black and blue by tone and tint. To be present in a landscape is to turn from vision to a menacing rhythm.

  • On Sundays

    A record of textured surfaces and passing throughts on an uneventful Sunday spent in quiet contemplation at home, accompanied by the memories of defocused lights on a somnambullstic nighttime streetcar journey. Produced in collaboration with poet Goran Simic, commissioned by the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT) for Poetry Projections II.

  • Hand-processing

    A campfire for warming eyes and sight, somewhat akin to TV static. Produced by accident and chance, all the images in this film are achieved via tactile impact, the soundtrack acoustically interpreting the same abrasions.

  • Routes

    Tree rhythms in the backyard of my parents’ house.

  • Quanta

    Particles in space recorded during an afternoon on familiar waters. Quanta is an investigative record of patterns found in the observable Universe, as contained within the perceptions of a Bolex taken for an excursion in a rowboat. Special thanks to Ajla Odobasic.

  • Waterfilm

    Two film strips illuminated by passages of water: one aboard a ferry crossing the English Channel at day, the other on the banks of the Seine river at night. The soundtrack is generated directly by the projector ‘reading’ the images shot in Super-16mm.

  • Sister Drag

    Sister Drag is a part of an ongoing work about the invisible labour of women; “I can’t hear the sound of your sewing machine anymore” is a tribute to my mother, grandmother and to all the women who suffer from a constant bad conscience for not being good enough.

  • Bridge 1B

    An interstice.
