We Carry The Past With Us is a series of four portraits created with MFO for the installation Das Geschehen (The Event) by Nik Nowak. The installation is a sculpture, featuring backlit slides vieable through 24 individual viewfinders.
The portrait series explores archetypes and representation and is a repsonse to the sculpture’s militaristic form. Motivating forces fundamental to human nature are explored through a series of figures, sourced from ancient greek coins.

‘Her Ghost’ is a live audiovisual homage to the classic sci-fi film “La Jetee” by French director Chris Marker, created by kode9 (sound) and MFO (video) for Unsound Festival’s 2011 ‘Future Shock’ edition.
In collaboration with MFO I developed a dark, retro-futurist aesthetic for the video’s post-apocolyptic 2nd Act, where mankind is forced to live beneath the earth in bunkers and time-travel experiements are carried out on the citizens. The effects, post-processing and animation was done live in custom-built software patches, the signal then sent to an old 80′s Commodore monitor, manipulated further and re-filmed to be used in the live performance.
