Mystical Movie is a long-form, closed-caption cinematic experiment. There is no dialogue yet sound and its transmission is the protagonist. All of the sound is created in post-production using found audio generated by users on freesound.org. There is black space alloted to mimic or interplay with a viewer’s blinking. Different levels of distraction are encouraged and the length of the work would enhance the potential of not ever seeing the same film. The final work approximating to 120-180 minutes will be broadcast using electrical signal, allowing for interference to generate a subjective viewing experience, this may manifest with the installation of conductive or non-conductive materials in the space, bodies, the weather.

The actors cast for Mystical Movie are the same as those who I have cast into plaster sculptures in order to render glass masks. These glass faces become performers animated by electrical or mechanical means, often emitting sound - they are in many ways more active than the movie performers. Who is performing, who is animated, who becomes an image and who takes on a new life. The duality of this casting process allows me to play with animation and re-enacting.
