The work follows Greek philosopher Galen’s classification of four personality dispositions—sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, and melancholic. In the film, Blanchett is seen playing four characters, each representing one of the temperaments. Denoted by color, we see the actor’s face appear on the screen bathed in yellow portraying sanguine, red for choleric, blue as melancholic, and green for phlegmatic. As Blanchett’s personalities are displayed in a series of synchronized images, she begins establishing each distinguished character.

SyncSync · 2006
Sync
4.02006
Movie
'Sync' is made up of sampled images from sex scenes in mainstream and adult films. The formulaic and often derivative nature of the way this subject is interpreted in cinema is emphasised, creating a strong subliminal impression which gradually builds to a state of sensory overload. 'Sync' uses samples as short as single frames edited together to create the impression of motion. The original continuity and narrative in the source material is eliminated, and a new visual choreography emerges.

Heaven’s Gate
2022
Movie
Creating a continuous loop through cinematic history, New York-based video artist Marco Bramilla satirizes seminal moments of the silver screen in large-scale video installation, Heaven’s Gate. Oscillating between hyper-saturated imagery, capturing the polarities of the Hollywood spectacle, the piece explores the tensions and intersections of religion, industry, and celebrity – the meteoric rise and catastrophic falls, and the loss of innocence to experience and excess.

Ghost (Natasha Poly: Multiple Exposure)
2009
Movie
Set against a stark, monochromatic background with a hairless Poly as the centerpiece, the video gives you an unsettling feeling that something disturbing is stirring beneath her initial placidity. Poly then takes us through a range of emotions of what can only be described as a carthartic episode before ending on the same unnerving note it began with. Brambilla composes the video brilliantly, creating mesh-like layers of Poly’s face that scatter and converge as he explores the idea of mulitplicity within the human psyche.
