The World in London

Last year Kate Elliott from KEEM was commissioned by The Photographers' Gallery to take a portrait for The World in London - a public art project which set out to bring together 204 portraits of 204 Londoners, each originating from a different nation competing at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The portraits are being exhibited as large-scale posters in Victoria Park, East London (27 July - 12 August) and on the windows of Park House, on Oxford Street in Central London (27 July - 9 September).

Super 8 Cam - Emma

Starting with your left foot, the camera - and my eyes - trace the outline of your body. We never loose contact with your skin. Moving slowly up the outside of your left leg, along your body, we travel along your left arm, over your fingertips and back along the top of your arm towards your neck. We push up and through your hair, over your head and back down towards your right shoulder. We move out along the top of your right arm, over your fingertips and back towards your body. We pause before moving down. Past your breast we take in your side and then the film runs out...

Showing as part of Fringe!

EXHIBITION: SUPER 8 CAM

Dalston Superstore, 117 Kingsland Road, London E8 2PB, 12 - 15 April 2012
(Private View 12 April, 8pm-10pm) 
 A series of six intimate portraits by local artists Antonio da Silva, KEEM, Konstantinos Menelaou, Marie Schuller, Jason Bradbury and Mei Chan shot in Super 8. Artists were given a brief to create a personal moment between themselves and the subject of their affection/obsession. The video pieces document the relationship between artist and subject as well as exploring the gaze of the viewer taking the viewpoint of the artist. A film camera has the ability to grant power to the filmographer and by proxy the viewer, and put the subject in a vulnerable position. However when the role play is on equal terms then the game becomes an intense erotic experience. Each portrait was shot to give the process of filming the same importance as the subject being filmed and thus expose the filmmaker as much as the subject. The result are six video pieces that are exhibited without any editing, no post production alterations and no sound.

A Fringe! commission, curated by Konstantinos Menelaou.

Kennington

Last summer KEEM placed a loaded film camera in each of their homes.  Over the course of the Summer they filled the frames.  Sometimes with each other, sometimes in front of each other, and sometimes alone, without the other knowing.  The first roll of developed film was made into the publication, Kennington. Here are a few images from the book.
