William Hunt

As a joint commission between Picture This, South West Screen and Berwick Film and Media Festival artist William Hunt is developing a new film piece. Hunt is best known for his performances and this commission will see him develop a perfomance specifically for video.

For this new commission, Hunt sings a song of rapport whose communication is thwarted by self-imposed physically demanding conditions. These conditions not only disrupt Hunt's ability to perform but overturn the environment and object around him; and ultimately disturb the viewer's understanding of the action.

Even as you see me now is a work intended as a video, rather than video documentation of a performance. Even as you see me now uses the language of cinema and painting to give audiences a more considered experience of the efforts and physical undertaking.

Even as you see me now was produced by Picture This and is a joint commission between the Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival, Picture This and South West Screen as part of Recorded Live a programme of new performance to camera moving image works. Recorded Live is supported by Arts Council England Lottery Funding,
