Abstract
Three channel digital video installation, 338 foam bricks
'Flow Co Motion' is an intimate, diaristic portrait of the artist's relationship with her eldest child Bo. Shot over several years, the viewer is invited to accompany them on trips to the bookshop, cycling, getting lost in a maze and practicing yoga; they share philosophical, fantastical and everyday insights into how Bo’s autism shapes his encounters with the world and the dynamics of their relationship.
Within the work both Jenny and Bo’s points of view are presented in bouncing motion, produced using a video editing filter known as Warp Stabilisation, ordinarily used to counter camera shake. This effect could be understood as an opportunity to “normalise” footage according to neurotypical perceptions. The work stresses accessibility, with the captions, timer and transitions produced to both aid and refer to sensory differences. The 2 person POV sections are interspersed with a series of abstract videos seen from Bo’s perspective. Intersecting and interrupting, these are unpredictable snapshots of life through his eyes.
