Summary Catalogue of exhibition held 23 July - 2 October 2016 at Latrobe Regional Gallery
Discreet Montage features a selection of experimental (non)fictions including post-industrial reportage, ambient family portraits and found quotidian abstraction. Shot on Super 8 film and edited in camera, the films are un-staged spontaneous recordings, utilising chance and improvisation as structuring devices to generate atmospheric narratives. Similarly, the soundtracks privilege the accidental, predominately focussed upon aesthetic errors and psychological ambience - a silent cinema fabricated from open-ended scores, magnetic tape manipulations and unusual guitar tunings. The films are lyrical, unconscious constructs, featuring the familiar and the unfamiliar, a discreet cacophony of aleatory auras and everyday illusions. The exhibition screens video projections with ambi-phonal sound from the original Super 8 prints
