Further information:
"In 2016 Owen (Bullock) and I teamed up with artist Louise Curham to produce a collaborative evening performance in the CMAG courtyard for the You Are Here festival. I printed large paper backdrops for the super8 projections of Louise's hand-worked films, and Owen performed a collection of his haiku in response to the visual and audial elements of the evening's installation. The subsequent unique artist book "Tracer: You are here" is ... a souvenir of the experience: the printed pages are pieces of a torn-down backdrop, all the poems are present as a script, sorted into groups under the titles of Louise's films and printed by 'domestic letterpress', or rubber stamps. There are shards of the super8 film sewn onto the pages, and the rustle of the paperstock pairs up with the printed TATATAT to evoke the distinctive sound of the projectors." Caren Florance
