Lascelles works with 16 mm film to explore projection and space and how we relate/interact with it, using film loops as a spatial media to describe our experience, to consider time and memory. She is interested in the connection between physical reality and filmic reality and try to occupy a place between fact and fiction, pervaded by a sense of elusiveness, a search for something that exists as much in the imagination as anywhere else. She has been developing a collaborative piece with the Japanese actress and circus performer Akemi Yamauchi, resulting in a series of 16 mm film. Her refers to a background in travelling theatre, an autobiographic note that slips into her films, suggesting a past she cannot lose.
Lascelles says "I met Akemi in the theatre, a formidable performer, an expert silk aerialist, and asked if I could film her, trying to define what attracted me to her. The self she presents to me is formal, precise; I project these manifestations on the wall, the thoughts I create around her and the different states of her performance." |
