Sally Golding

SALLY GOLDING (Australia) | OtherFilm
Golding combines film projection with performance and installation creating live cine-sculptures and interactions. Golding deploys folly and foray into physiological cinematics, creating embodied beams and alchemical projection performance. Photographic compositions printed as optical soundtracks and decomposed uprooted vinyl library music neatly situate Golding’s work at the crossroads of science and superstition, philosophy and pulp. Deconstruction of cinematic materials and apparatus reveal slippage between materialist investigation, sculptural forms, and bodily intervention – redesigning the cinematic viewing experience, exposing the typically locked process of beam-audience-screen. Cracked cinema for darkroom compositions, light bleed, contorted projection sports, dismembered narrative, strained sonorousness, whimsical instructional and wanton optics.

Since 2004 Sally has performed for and programmed for key festivals and events around the globe including; Tate Britain (London), Star and Shadow Cinema, (Newcastle), Abandon Normal Devices Festival (Manchester), Sonica (Slovenia), New Zealand Film Archives, The Stone (New York), Cafe Oto (London), Director’ (Berlin), Open Frame (Brisbane Powerhouse), No.w.here (London), Mal Au Pixel (Paris), Apparent Motion Festival (San Francisco Cinematheque), Australian Centre for the Moving Image (Melbourne), Oddball (San Francisco), Melbourne & Brisbane International Film Festivals, Institute of Modern Art (Brisbane), Anthology Film Archives (New York), Unsound (Wagga Wagga, Australia), Liquid Architecture (Sydney), MadCat International Film Festival (San Francisco), Now Now Festival of Spontaneous Music (Sydney).
