 Also known as 'Trapped in Fear,' this video is a zoom-out reveal piece featuring a mix of strange representations. It's like a blend of taxidermy art, witchcraft, and extreme sports, making for an exhilarating journey. And the background music is a drone doom soundtrack created from old cassette tapes.

This body of work represents the illusive qualities of the dream realm - how our hallucinogenic surroundings can disperse and transform at a glance and take us through an unpredictable journey of illogic randomness as our subconscious feeds us subliminal messages of our fears, desires and everything in between. 
Rooted in the juxtaposition of nature and violence, this short - seemingly illogic story - feeds us contradicting themes of tranquility within chaos as we are taken through scenes of blooming flora with birds chirping in the distance, to gunshots and explosions. The contrast in these scenes creates a disturbance between the purity of the world we inhabit and the man-made destruction we leave behind us.

Throughout this bewildering odyssey, the observer is fed glimpses of living phantasmal obscurities as they arise from stretches of greenery - transfiguring in appearance as they traverse their surroundings. In the opening moments of this piece, we see a human form seemingly rise from slumber, as they wake in a mysterious dreamland. This exordium pays significance to the narrative of the piece, suggesting imitation of both the dreamer and the observer - as though, they themselves are embodied within the diegesis.

During the opening of this video, we are transported from grey hues into a world of fun and colour, whilst the sounds of a distant ice cream truck contest through reverberant thunder. These contrasting components represent sounds from our waking life as they bleed into the dream realm - usually during the stages of Hypnagogia, as we transition from wakefulness into sleep - confining the observer in a state of the in-between.

In a liminal zone laced with feverish nostalgia, nomadic forms drift in and out of vacant corridors and connecting back rooms, lurking in plain sight of the uncannily familiar spaces. With a particular ominous elegance, these fluid structures of elasticity instil the feeling of not truly being alone in a seemingly forsaken location. Metaphorically, shedding light on experiences within the dream realm that correspond to location, atmosphere and inner premonitions.

This body of work encapsulates the intricacies of an illusive reality - traversing the subconscious and the relationship between the human experience and the dream realm, through wavering scenes of illogic psychedelia.

This mini series of unpredictable, dreamlike simulations, combines elements of the past and future of video technology - employing contemporary AI tools that are fabricated to imitate the aesthetic of 1900s Technicolor. Through bold, saturated palettes and evocative visual quirks, this amalgamation emulates the physical world in an irrational, surrealistic manner - composing its own genesis, with moments of lucidity through conflicting abstract forms and hues.

This is one of the first experimental pieces I made using GAN AI. The piece starts off with a small seed, or nucleus, transforming into a silhouette, that slowly hallucinates into an abstracted world of colors and textures - leaving behind fragmented suggestions to the perceiver.

This is a companion piece to my recently published photography book 'One Horse Landed'.

This 22-second video is a curated compilation of AI shorts, carefully sequenced using photos from the project as image prompts in Runway.

Made in collaboration with film maker and sound designer Sam Walker, the piece is brought to life with his unique field recordings. According to Sam, the audio combines phone recordings of country music, broken analog synthesizers, and a Las Vegas preacher ranting in an underpass.
