Palimpsest

Director: Ellen Sampson
Production: The Valiant East

Ellen Sampson is an artist and writer whose work explores the relationships between bodily experience, memory and artefacts.  Ellen’s current practice examines the dissonance between object based and filmic records of movement. Through the production of artefacts  that imprint or break down as they are worn,  Sampson seeks to question the primacy of film and photography as records of movement and to emphasize the affective nature of the bodily and the worn.
