Jim Hobbs & Ojon (plus special guest Yi Ting Liong)

Jim Hobbs & Ojon (Jono Crabbe) have been collaborating on expanded cinematic works for over 5 years. They combine analogue film, digital projection, light play, electric and acoustic instruments, unique microphones, field recordings and lots of distortion– often resulting in intense experiences exploring ideas around memory, place and systematic failures.  For this event, the pair have invited Yi Ting Liong, an aerial artist and dancer, to collaborate on a performance that interacts with Oto’s architecture and the disruption of both projected image and sound.  All three have recently collaborated on Hobbs’ short film Heliotrope & Citron, which stemmed from a reading of Marguerite Duras’ novella “The Malady of Death”.
