Compass, Live Performance, The Salon Exhibition
Ball Cam is an innovative camera-in-a-ball that Lizzie Sykes invented. She uses the cam in collaboration with dancers to produce a series of highly original dance/video pieces in which the dancers themselves are able to control the camera. These are photos of 'Compass' - a live perfomance event by Olu Tawio and Lizzie Sykes that took place at the exhibition.
ARTIST STATEMENT
"At the core of my work is the moving image. Other dynamic forms I work
with are dance, landscape and recently sound... combined with video. I love
the concept of cameras. The physical, immediate, sometimes playful nature
of the work means that now and then I need to create cameras, or bits of
cameras, to achieve the response in myself and an audience that I’m looking
for.
"Ultimately, the films are all collaborations that evolve from a response to an
initial idea. That starting point is the beginning of an organic process where
I develop and devise an idea, one that often changes out of all recognition by
working at it physically, on location."
