In the fall of 2011 Lucy Skaer presented a 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.  She produced a new version of this film, by removing the center of each frame, leaving visible only the margin.  Grouped into distinct “scenes,” Skaer has submerged these celluloid frames in resin, producing a series of sculptures which are both "portraits" of the film and repositories of its temporal sequences.
