Sit with me for a moment and remember
The artist shows the first film of himself in existence - an 8mm amateur movie of his Christening shot by his late Uncle Fred. He is on film but he cannot recall being filmed. He is there but he is not there. The performance is an act of repair, an invitation to remember the event and to help him to fill in the gaps left behind. Created for the Biennale of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean, the project is supported by Dance4, Nottingham Trent University and Trampoline.
Michael Pinchbeck is a writer, live artist and performance maker based in Nottingham, UK. His work is an exit strategy from the everyday. He operates autobiographically by using self and site-as-source to illustrate loss and explore absence. He aims to challenge the boundaries of text, performance and installation. He is interested in moments when work ceases to mean and how we reconfigure the meaning at these moments.
