Sarah Pucill’s films and photographs explore the mirroring and merging we seek in the Other; a sense of self which is transformative and fluid. Her work is concerned with the idea that as subjects we are not separate and draws together surfaces of inside and outside, the animate and inanimate, probing a journey between mirror and surface.
Her latest production, Fall In Frame, funded by the Arts Council (Spring 09) due to tour at US venues in 09 explores the materiality of the filmmaking process as part of a young woman’s constrained performance that blurs a distinction between the physical and consciousness. Her previous work, Blind Light, brings the filmmaking process as performance and image into the fold of a fragmented spoken narrative. Funded by AHRC and the Arts Council, the film premiered at Millennium Film, NY in 07 and was shown at the European Media Arts Festival Osnabruck, Aurora Art Festival, Norwich and at the Louise T Blouin Foundation in 08.
Taking My Skin was recipient of the Marion McMahon Award at the Images Festival in Toronto 2007 and together with Stages of Mourning (04) received Directors Citation from the Black Maria Film Festival. Continuing Pucill’s experiments with the collapsing of space in front of and behind the camera, the film tracks a dialogue between the artist and her mother while each alternately instruct, position and direct. Taking My Skin was shown as part of ‘Mother Cuts: Experiments in Film, Video & Photography’ at New Jersey Uni
