Week 10

Savinder Bual

"My practice is driven by my fascination with the illusory qualities inherent in cinema. Imagining myself as a film pioneer I explore the interplay between the moving and the still creating works that sit between the pre-cinematic and the digital.

By discovering low-fi ways to add movement to single images and commonplace objects/materials my intent is to ignite an element of wonder at the illusion of cinema, giving the everyday enough of a twist to allow the imagination to run free."
