Lucy Skaer’s new work Film for an Abandoned Projector is showing–Thursday evenings–at the Lyric Picture House, Armley, Leeds. I was  really, really pleased to be able to give a talk about it last Thursday, October 20.   In the talk, “Translation for a Recovered Text,” I propose seeing the work as a translation, a move from a fairly conventional way of thinking about film into a view of film as projection, of us as projectors.  A recording of the event is up on the Pavilion site (pavilion.org.uk); a written version, lightly edited, is available here, under “On Translation” (see menu on the left). Film for an Abandoned Projector will be on view until December 15.
