Fight me


super-8 black and white film
edited to HD video 4’12” with stereo sound, 1994-2021
Performer: Tom Noone
Location: Oxford
A young man fights an unseen challenge; he flounders angrily, frantically trying to rid himself of an invisible assailant, yet his fight seems disturbingly real, his exhaustion palpable. The film frame encloses our protagonist oppressively, the soundtrack is loud and distorted composed from insistent electromagnetic signals. The viewer watches the intense onslaught in helpless confusion and discomfort.
