During the 2023 SPECTRAL residency program at Filmwerkpaats artists duo Jim Lumbera and Joey Singh (PH) were invited to finalise their 5 channel 16mm film and optical sound performance: A Badly-made Figure in an Obscure Fishing Village

A Badly-made Figure in an Obscure Fishing Village is a visual study that arose from a creative research about an excavated artefact from a cave burial site in the island of Palawan, Philippines. The work is recorded through a sonar technology device that emits high-frequency soundwaves to “visualise” obscured forms of figures, movements, and landscapes underwater.
