At the end of the Nineteenth Century, Mutoscopes dominated the coin-in slot peep show industry in Britain. Working on the same principle as a flip-book and hand operated, these early motion picture devices allow the viewer to speed up and slow down the film at any given moment. This exciting project will present six unique custom-made mutoscopes investigating the role of the body in film spectatorship, as well as the tension between public and private, and visibility and invisibility. The mutoscopes will be showing new works by international artists and filmmakers Elias Heuninck, Jason Dee, Katie McGown, Helen Kirwan & Simon Pruciak, José Fernandez Levy and Sensate Films.
Confined Projections is presented by members of academic staff at the School of Arts, Eleen Deprez, Sara Janssen and Hans Maes.
