work statement
Glitter Loop is a 16mm visual experience challenging masculinity through glam. The mesmerising loop/movement of the pieces allows the viewers to stand still and stop in their tracks, reflecting on the sounds in their surroundings while witnessing the glittering lights passing through from the centre of the screen out into the world around it. This project was created to experiment with the medium of analog film trying to push the capabilities of 16mm motion pictures.
