Cyclone Tracery (2018)

Overview

On Christmas eve in 1974, the city of Darwin was devastated by Cyclone Tracy. In this expanded cinema piece, a single film print, featuring only concentric circles, is bi-packed against itself in two 16mm projectors simultaneously. Through this approach, the quadrupled image of circles is transformed into troubled patterns of pulsating and swirling interference and wailing sounds of tropical violence.
