484 14th Street

A film work which engages with materials encountered during a visit to the Lesbian Herstory Archive in Brooklyn, NYC. Complex desires related both to hopes for the future and nostalgia for the past are animated through the use of song, spontaneity and repetition, enacting an intimate encounter with the archive and its personal resonances. Rather than treating the archive with the reverence and objectivity normally expected, the work conjures humour and attachment through a doubled, “time-lapsed” encounter. The environment of the installation requires physical and affective negotiation, and the navigation of interior and exterior spaces.
