Snake's Shadow
2011
Three channel video. Duration: 6:06
Snake’s Shadow fills three walls with an intricately executed sequence of dance and motion composed from high-definition scans of 35mm CinemaScope action films. These archetypal fragments of fight scenes are recomposed with a commissioned soundtrack into a dizzying mix of movement and light. The work is divided into four acts across three channels, assembling a sequence of pivotal moments without an end. This work was commissioned by Reel Asian and LIFT.
