Unremembered
I was a camera operator and photographer on “Unremembered” featuring 3 harmonographs (the pattern-making sand pendulums), 3 dancers and visual vernacular / BSL.
Unremembered is a short film and live experience which features 3 contemporary dancers, 1 actor/visual vernacular artist, 3 sand pendulums (harmonographs), lighting design and a suite of new music.
The unique patterns created by the sand pendulum are visual representations of musical harmony (Lissajous curves).
The piece explores the themes of harmony, transience, memory and the preciousness of life through the creation and destruction of these intricate and fragile patterns.
