Jamie Shovlin - Jesus Rinzoli's Hiker Meat.

Jamie Shovlin - Jesus Rinzoli's Hiker Meat.
Installation shot at iBid Projects, Feburary 2011 



Looking at the ephemera and historical legacy of 1970/80s horror films Jamie Shovlins 'Jesus Rinzoli's Hiker Meat' hosted at iBid projects was comprised of of 60 screens featuring 60 different loops of generic 'scene-types' found in the horror film genre. 

By collating over 1000 clips of found footage taken in the 1970/80s Shovlin explores the control an artist or director has over their works' intended message. With scene scripts, props and posters left around the space any potential narrative found in the installation remains vague and shifting, whilst we encounter very familiar horror type scenarios re-worked.
