REPETITIONS

Morgan Quaintance, England, digital, 24 min, 2022

An exploration of recursive patterns, a series of repeated sequ ences, flickering images, and looping sounds. On the surface, Repetitions concentrates on inducing retinal excitement and states of anticipation, but tel ephone messages and speech provide a through line that speaks to physical labou r, industrial work, and fragile bodies.

Morgan Quaintance (1979). 10+ films since 2018; screenings at venues including Curtas Vila do Conde, European Media Art Festival, Media City Film Festival, and Open City Documentary Film Festival. Frequent contributor of writing on contemporary art for publications including Art Monthly, The Wire, The Guardian, and frieze; host and producer (2012–2023) of Studio Visit on Resonance 104.4 FM. Lives in London, England.
