Capture Festival takes Vancouver photography to the next level

The Capture Photography Festival is skipping a few steps in cultural evolution, like if humanity had jumped straight from hunter-gatherer to smartphone-wielding commuter.

Great shout out to our upcoming project on @LonsdaleQuay @capturefest

Transference - Work in Progress 

Transference is an experimental stereoscopic 3D narrative work exploring the themes of loss, memory and personal reconciliation. The main subject of the film is a young woman depicted in the west coast landscape dragging a heavy curtain around with her. As the scenes unfold the viewer floats in and out of two spaces: the natural landscape; cool and emancipating, yet weighted down with the struggle of the protagonist; and the urban landscape; romanticized and warm, but full of unspoken conflict. Cutting into the natural landscape while simultaneously blending in urban landscapes, Transference calls into question the viewer’s physical relationship with scale and space. The two types of landscapes represent past and present eras for the protagonist. Interstitial scenes of water reflect the protagonist’s frame of mind. The title has the double meaning relating to the emotional transference the medium of 3D can have on the viewer as well as the effect of the protagonist’s past relationship on her current self.

Transference is a recipient of a Media Arts Project Assistance Grant from the British Columbia Arts Council and is expected to release in August 2015.
