aemi presents: ‘Profit & Loss’ 4Ever Chemical by Sibyl Montague
aemi is delighted to present ‘Profit & Loss’ 4Ever Chemical (2014-2021) by Sibyl Montague, following on from Sibyl’s ‘Profit and Loss’ series of videos presented by aemi last year.
A new one-day video collage installation at Project Arts Centre, Dublin, ‘Profit & Loss’ 4Ever Chemical (2014-2021) uses image and melody to weave mass material sourced from online drifts. Made as a multi-part work, it has three core rhythms that can ‘shuffle’ randomly like tracks. The works are cut ups; a method to reap and remediate content, harvesting from early learning, pharmaceutical, corporate and cosmetic visual and audio. Started in 2014 and completed in 2021, 4Ever Chemical will be screened alongside other works including a new textile Blanket – Those Who Wander, made during the pandemic 2020.
4Ever Chemical is the fifth moving image work from ‘Profit & Loss’ (2013-2021) a series of video collages working with found image and sound. Parts 01-04 were screened for the first time with aemi in 2020 as part of our ‘aemi online’ screening programme, accompanied by an interview with artist and critic Morgan Quaintance.
