Simon Payne has been committed to making abstract cinema for twenty years. His videos are predominantly orientated around bold graphic forms and highly structured sequences that produce unexpected colour combinations and conflicting planes. In this selection there are also sometimes contingent elements that correspond with incidental indications of the artist’s hand, but his approach to cinema is primarily objective. The systems that underpin his work engage the entirety of the screen surface and every edge, while the effect of these systems often spill out of the screen to illuminate the cinema in remarkable ways.

Simon Payne’s work has been shown in numerous film festivals and venues including: Anthology Film Archives, New York; Close-Up, London; the Pacific Film Archives, San Francisco; Scratch Projections, Paris; the Ann Arbor, Edinburgh, London and Rotterdam international film festivals; the Media City Festival, Ontario; the European Media Arts Festival, Osnabrück, the Serpentine and Whitechapel galleries in London; Tate Britain and Tate Modern; and the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. He has written widely on experimental film and video and is a Reader in Film and Media at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.

Extras: A partial score for Set Theory (part IV) on a signed postcard.
