Paper Landscape plays with the illusory space within the screen by working directly with the material of the screen. A live performance is played off against a filmed record of a past event.
It starts with the projector illuminating a transparent polythene screen. Behind the screen stands the performer/filmmaker who applies white paint to the polythene. As a result the film image is revealed; it shows the same performer slowly tearing up a paper screen of the same size, to reveal a landscape.

David Hoffos Scenes from the House Dream
Hoffos
has built this complex work largely around two basic kinds of illusions, both
of which he has adapted from archaic forebears: the miniature model or diorama,
often set into a mirror box to give a scene the appearance of vastness, and the
ghost video effect, for which moving figures are projected into the models. The
latter are images on videotapes that play on TV monitors placed on stands
located in the spectator’s space, outside and in front of the glazed models.
The moving figures are reflected into the models via small panes of glass.
Hoffos’s
installations are very low-tech, and how they work is not concealed. The
mechanics are out in the open and they are fairly easy to figure out. The point
is that even though you can see how the illusion is made, it still has the
power to captivate the spectator and draw her into Hoffos’s dream world. There,
the house is a metaphor for the self, and movies and dreams are analogous.

Sea Oak - Emily Wardill
Emily Wardill's Sea Oak was
developed from a series of interviews conducted with the The Rockridge
Institute, a left-orientated think tank located in Berkeley, California. From
2001 until its closure in April 2008, the Institute researched contemporary
political rhetoric with special emphasis on the employment of metaphor and
framing.
The strict absence of images throughout the film is introduced by institute member Eric Haas. He describes how, in everyone's imagination, the word "bird" evokes a similar imagined creature. This prototypical bird exists only in common thought ("We don't think of an ostrich or a penguin…") and provides the idea of an image to begin a film consisting only of black leader and sound.

Untitled Seven - Benedict Drew & Emma
Hart
By inverting the
technologies used to create and project images, Hart and Drew create anarchic
systems which make the process of their creation explicit. The physical world
is made manifest, through the complex web of projections and sound loops the
duo creates: a length of 16mm leader "plays" the strings of an
electric guitar, a large speaker which is amplifying the fan noise of a video
projector sends a explosive cascade of dishwashing detergent into the air as a
closed circuit video camera records the powder's movements, projecting them
onto a screen.

Steve Lyons -
Loch Ness
An evolving and ephemeral installation that explores aspects of image construction while exposing its pitfalls. By way of a three-dimensional translation of an archival photo of Loch Ness monster hunters, Lyons invests in the mimetic, performative, and pseudo-scientific recreation of the controversy. Using found materials and documentary footage, he shakes up our trust in the visual.
