Oct 21 Off My Flashlight

The film genre of horror masterfully utilities human nature as a means of inducing fear. “Off my Flashlight” is a collaboration between photographers George Nicolaides & Louis Blue-Newby explores the mechanics of the genre.

Embracing the forms and figures that films tend to push to the periphery, “Off my Flashlight” decomposes the structural elements of a horror film, cultivating an unrealised storyboard. Set in Suffolk, England the environment plays a key role in this narrative. The symbolism rooted in rural England is described as holding an intricate continuum between a non-conforming body and the surrounding natural world. The nineteen stills in this project share the visual similarity of removing the audience from a tangible reality, and brings them into a state of disturbance.
