The sound of sinking ships

Clarity and obfuscation, entropy and order- explored through movement, music, video and film. The Sound of Sinking Ships is a dance improvisation documented in film, video, and animation. This video highlights movement itself as the figure flows through mediums, styles and levels of obfuscation and abstraction. Including video, degraded 16mm and 8mm film, and hand drawn animation.

Oona Taper is a Chicago-based conceptual artist working with film, installation, and animation. She is invested in materiality and the  andmade, using materials as symbols that are in themselves expressive. She creates liminal spaces between tangible  bjects and the smooth, virtual world of video. Her work uses chance,  ntropy, and decay to describe everyday hauntings, forgotten ephemera, and mundane apocalypses.
