Super Project

The Super Project began as a collection of things branded by the common superlative. It has since expanded to include a series of works joined by the use of the word ‘Super’ as an over-arching medium. This group of works explore the transformative qualities of the word.

These mundane objects are rendered grand in the context of a collection, permitting the everyday to be extraordinary. In the form of a collection the word is taken quite literally. This places a great expectation on these Super things to render my own experience/ identity as super as well.

The word Super is transformative, but is so ubiquitous that we have forgotten what it really means. A concise marriage between material and form, a play on words and material, this film conjures up several associations: and endless countdown before a film, a moebuis strip, a fragile infinity.
