In Search of The Real: S... "In Search of The Real: Glitches" (a simultaneous work, shown at Towner in the East Sussex Open 2014) was a response to a disenchantment with the current global social/political environment. A glitch is also referred to as a spike of electrical current. A spike seems more hopeful than a glitch. This video is one of a series which make use of found videos that originally imparted a philosophical or spiritual argument. It explores a state of continual flux, dissolving realities and poses questions of possibility. Does art facilitate a liberation of the mind? I am finding that the more liberated my thinking becomes the more is revealed that was previously un-seen/heard.

Faster than shadows Alessandra is 11 years old and she has an impulsive, expansive, noisy and bulimic way of exploring the world. She breaks all the rules: she dresses like a boy (but she prefers girls to boys), she eats like there’s no tomorrow, and she makes life impossible for her oh-so-perfect parents. This film is a tragicomic epic that tells the story of Ale’s transition from childhood to adolescence in the soulless suburbs of Turin in the ‘80s. Ale has to learn how to make the most of her resources, but in the process she also discovers that she is not quite so alone and misunderstood as she thinks.
