Tim Grabham (AKA iloobia) is an award winning film maker who has produced still and moving image work independently for 30 years. His work has been presented internationally at festivals, cinemas, online, television and galleries.
‘Films to Break Projectors’ glues, scrapes and splices 35mm, 16mm and 8mm film to create unprojectable celluloid collages. Reanimating the material reveals the colour music within and traces of ambiguous narratives that emerge from the complex loops.
‘Cinegraffic Score’ is a 6 meter collage of orphaned and found celluloid film. This is reconfigured into a graphic musical score, with obscure narratives emerging as the film is reanimated. The soundtrack emerges from magnetic tape loops, field recordings, audio fragments and a DIY visual synthesiser.
