Tom K Kemp

Plots, dialogue, and performances are generated for film works which mix genre fiction with simulation, often exploring notions of self-organisation, problems of scale, and political metaphor. These narratives veer rapidly between the structural and the intimate, developing over multiple scales; intimate, immediate human relations and bodily conditions are conflated with state policy, planetary processes or deep timeframes. Incorporating post-production and animated entities, Kemp's films strive for a vertiginous, disorienting affect that is inspired by Weird fiction, in which the reader and protagonist are subject to the consequences of supernatural phenomena without ever fully comprehending them.
