Waiting Room

DirectorAlex MacKenzie

3 min

A material-based film work that speaks to the various states of tension, calm, frustration, apprehension, injustice, inequity, and struggle felt in our respective waiting rooms. 16mm found footage is manipulated using optical printing, layering and reprocessing. The simultaneous banality and stress of waiting undergoes a physical transformation into an active and highly charged materiality informed by our personal projections and desires. Premiered on the VanLive! public art screen at Granville and Georgia Streets (Vancouver, BC Canada) May 2 through June 5, 2022. Commissioned for Platforms: We Are Here, Live by the City of Vancouver Public Art Program.
