Live and work on terminal beach.
Graeme Thomson & Silvia Maglioni are filmmakers and artists whose work interrogates potential forms and fictions emerging from the ruins of the moving image and whose practice also includes visual essays, sound and video installations, performances, event works, radio shows, tube-tracts and books. Their production (and, on occasion, resistance to production) emanates from terminal beach, a constructivist zone for critical reflection that explores new configurations of image, sound, text and politics, often using cinema in expanded and exploded form to reactivate lost or forgotten archives and histories and to create new modes of collective engagement with contemporary thought. Their films include Wolkengestalt (2007), Facs of Life (2009), Through the Letterbox (2010), In Search of UIQ (2013) and Disappear One (forthcoming). Their work has been presented in a number of museums, film festivals and art spaces including Tate Britain, Serralves, Centre Pompidou, Redcat, MACBA, Ludwig Museum, Castello di Rivoli, Anthology Film Archives, FID-Marseille, Bafici, Jihlava. The duo are preparing an exhibition, it took forever getting ready to exist, for 2015 at The Showroom, London.
