Works

Second Phase

  • 2012
  • Charlie Egleston

In observing the volatility and liquid nature of what appears to be solid, “Second Phase” exists as a discovery of form through process and quietly observes a community space that remains constant amongst all the things that pass through it.

Second Phase

SEE/SAW

  • 2010
  • Charlie Egleston

A film about seeing and having seen. Completely hand-processed and painstakingly edited, 'SEE/SAW' is comprised of a series of iris fades - commonly found in silent films to signal the beginning or end of a scene - re-appropriated as a formal approach that frames the desire to see and to remember. Dichotomies surface in the high contrast images - opening/closing, beginning/ending, light/dark - it is also a deeply personal film that faces the imminence of not being.
