Deck (2018) by Leighton Pierce

Deck brings emphasis to the bodily experience of temporality. The principle of harmonized rhythm underpins all of Pierce’s work from the shooting (live animation) performance, to its editing and sound design, and finally in situating its reception. In all of his video and sound art, repetition and rhythm manifest the echoes and arcs of our irregular and subjective conjectures of time. Before making the single channel work, Deck, Pierce first explored these same visual and audio elements in a site specific 14 video channel exhibition in the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India.
