Simple piece of lyp-sych for the Chatter installation at USC Cinematic Arts Gallery, Los Angeles. This is a participatory artwork by USC artist-in-residence Birgitta Hosea.


The gallery will be filled with monitors and each of the four walls in the space will have a projection screen. On these will be displayed a number of animated talking heads that repeat short lines of meaningless conversation on a loop. The overall impression created by the installation will be of the babble of crowds, reminiscent of conversations on Facebook or Twitter.

Saint Christopher carrying the infant Christ

This is my final degree film. A visionary trip inspired by the painting "Saint Christopher carrying the Infant Christ" about 1525-50, Style of the Master of the Female Half-Lengths, in collaboration with the National Gallery London and Central Saint Martins College of Art and design.

According to legend Saint Christopher was a huge man who carried travelers across a ford. One day he carried a small child across the stream. The child’s weight nearly crushed him. When they arrived on the other side, the child revealed himself as Christ, and he was so heavy because he bore the weight of the world on himself.
