In fall 2011 Lucy Skaer presented major public commission in Leeds, England. Entitled Film for an Abandoned Projector, she produced a film for an abandoned 35mm Kalee projector in Leeds’ former Lyric Theatre (a site which is currently used as a church by Zimbabwean immigrants.) Reanimating the cinematic space, Skaer treated the projector as a technological object whose memory or unconscious could be sounded out by her film’s continuous flow of images.  Margin of July is a new version of this film, which Skaer has altered by removing the center of each frame, leaving visible only the margin of the image — a trace of the film.
