The Unstitute: Online Projection Room

Screening #1

Dawn Woolley

'Encounters' (15th September - 1st October)
'Homo Bulla'(1st October - 15th October)


"My artistic practice encompasses photography, video, installation and performance. I use photographs of objects and people to question issues of artificiality and idealisation. The artwork forms an enquiry into the act of looking and being looked at. Referring to psychoanalysis, phenomenology and feminism I examine my own experience of becoming an object of sight and also consider the experience the viewer has when looking at me as a female, and a photographic object. Voyeurism and exhibitionism intertwine as I attempt to disrupt relationships of power in purposefully provocative scenes."

The Projection Room at The Unstitute was created to show experimental video art. Works are selected on the basis of their ability to provoke thought, reaction and engagement on the visual, audible and conceptual levels, whether in a positive or negative fashion. Videos are not selected on the basis of technical merit or aspiration to conventional standards.

Future Projection Room screenings include Rebecca LaMarre, FUTURE DEATH TOLL, Mladen Stropnik, Dawn Nye and more to be announced…
