Skhizein by Jérémy Clapin

Jeremy Clapin in his animation Skhizein created a character, Henry, who has been shifted 91cm from his physical self. It is an "exploration of the metaphysical implications of place" as well as self-separation highlighting Henry’s confounded psychological state. The "main character is ultimately hounded by his own displacement, reassuring himself, 'I am here, I am here, I am here...'" [Barnum-Swett, 2011].

Film by Tacita Dean

11 minutes Film by Tacita Dean is the first work in the Unilever Series devoted to moving image. Projected onto a 13 metres tall white monolith in the darkened Turbine Hall, it "celebrates the masterful techniques of analogue film-making as opposed to digital" [Tate, 2011a]. Dean explains one of the element of the Film to be "about everything that exists beyond the rational self" [Tate, 2011b].
