Alor Setar Pulse
This video is an exploration of hand painted sun blinds in Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia. We are naturally drawn to patterns and order, and even disorder that is presented through a structured or ordered space or medium. It is because of this we see the world sequentially, even though events and communication do not happen sequentially. Using the theme of pulse, the motion of the blinds swaying in the evening breeze, is fractured into a series of cut edits that balance nonlinear disorder against the linear order of colour and context.
about the artist /
Andrew Stiff’s practice focuses on experimental filmmaking processes that explore the space between urban occupancy and the built environment. Through his studies of urban spaces, he shines a spotlight on the impact of Asian culture on the development of dense and tight urban spaces. The films capture the creation of space through the values of family and community and offer an insight into how cities can develop resilience in the light of urban migration
