Jennifer West @ Tramway, Glasgow

Jennifer West is an American artist known primarily for her manipulations of film-stock. Originally conceived as a swan song to celluloid, Flashlight Filmstrip Projections comprises a screen-less, communal viewing space in which audiences, using handheld torches, will activate film strips suspended throughout the gallery. In addition, live performances will take place during the opening night and will be repeated a number of times during the exhibition. Flashlight Filmstrip Projections will transform Tramway into a delirious cinematic playground, one that harks back to pre-cinematic experimentalism, while also imagining an unusual contemporary afterlife for an increasingly obsolete medium.
