Steve Hawley is an artist who has been working with film and video since 1981, and his work has been shown at video festivals and broadcast worldwide since then. His original preoccupation was with language and image, and in 1995 his experimental documentary on artificial languages was broadcast on Channel 4 TV.
More recently his work has looked at new forms of narrative, in such works as Love Under Mercury, his first film for the cinema, which won a prize at the Ann Arbor film festival, and Amen ICA Cinema 2002, a palindromic video which won the prize for most original video at the Vancouver Videopoem festival.
His recent work has explored issues around HD video (Barnum Effect 2007) and Not to Scale, shot on HD in model villages, was shown at last year’s Istanbul Biennale as part of the Sheffield 09 Pavilion. Currently he is developing DVD based generative narrative works such as Yarn 2010, which uses the medium to create an ongoing recombinant narrative.
