Film description

Translating a musical stage performance by the group Larry Peacock into the language of film, SYNCPOINT combines film images created directly on film leader with those created through normal exposure of 24 frames per second with a 16mm film camera. Larry Peacock is a feminist project with (and about) the performativity of electronic/pop music, reflecting gender politics and the role of the audience. The project not only destabilizes the normativity of binary gender categories, but also art categories such as ‘high’ and ‘low’, ‘dance’, ‘concert-performance’, and ‘choreographic work’.
