PAM: A Ramble with Time
A Ramble with Time chronicles the adventures of Paul Desborough, time traveller as he sets out to understand the mysterious concept of "infinity". Using everyday plastic bags as a vehicle to travel interdimensionally, he must battle against the evil time thief and time keepers who are on a quest to possess the pagan manifestation of infinity itself as described in a simple ball of thread. What he discovers along the way is truly surprising. Filmed in Berlin in 2009. Directed and edited by Shiva Lynn Burgos.

PAM: Broken Windows
Broken Windows consists of the last footage shot with a digital camcorder - these are the dying gasps of the camera. On one level, the piece might serve as a de-mystification of the digital image itself; the degradation of the image broadly implies the processes by which the real world is interpreted as video. Video’s constitution of the world as image is laid bare, and it is disconcerting to see the torturous decay of the image as the camera fights to maintain its simulation of the world. On another level, however, the piece implies the impossible mystery of most technology for most viewers. The functioning of the camera, evident in the image only when it fails as here, is something which most of us can’t - or don’t want to - understand. We comprehend technology so little, that we must engage with it on a purely aesthetic level as a source of magic or wonder, as we do here.

PAM: The Soft Epic, or: Savages of the Pacific West
The Soft Epic or; Savages of the Pacific West takes the form of a moving panorama to imagine the end of History. Comprised of over a hundred layers of composited images spread across multiple projections and an original surround-sound score by Bird Show (Ben Vida), the work draws upon images and effects from historical panoramas, epic sci-fi and disaster films, and the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch in a fractured, dystopic cityscape dotted with eternal flames and chimeras. These images—layered, collaged and seamlessly looped—picture the forces exerted upon collective memory in moments of cultural anxiety and the fluid relationship between Cinema and History. Hollywood splendor usurps mythological and historical narrative in service of political authority and social order.

Artists: Nadia Hironaka & Matthew Suib.

PAM: Divine Nature of Mother and her Sins Within
She bears her sins deep within. The beauty of nature and the magic of life, in turmoil and in conflict with the existence that it represents. The constant cycle of our life on earth only makes sense within a box but only when we are freed from those constraints can we understand.

PAM: Four Place Setting
Four Place Setting is an experimental video by the collaborative team of Hillerbrand+Magsamen. Through performance, Four Place Setting examines the contemporary American family by playfully and poetically exploring perceptions of emotions, family, consumerism and media within a uniquely American subjectivity. We closely se the interaction between family members and how one person’s emotions can effect the family dynamic as identities of parent, spouse and child, through the metaphor of fog, veil and reveal one another. What appears to be a typical family dinner becomes surreal as a cloud of fog engulfs and distorts the everyday event and fluctuates between memory, reality and dream worlds.

Untitled (adidas). 2009
Through invented, artificial, but extremely realistic-looking movements, and by changing the perception of time, I try to uncover hidden patterns and states of mind unconditioned by the “possible”.
