Fight me


1994-2021
single channel black and white HD video | Super-8 film | 4’12” | sound
performer: Tom Noone
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 his action oppressively, the soundscape is loud, distorted and uncompromising.
