Abstract
On Being There (2022) is a filmic encounter with the material and outputs of the office of Tom dePaor, drawing on 30 years of practice. There is the place itself, notebooks, drawings, prints, scale models, 35mm slides, photographs, films, files, books, writing, a diversity of materials and media evidencing significant technological changes in production and reproduction. This is the raw material.
The film is a rerecording, or sampling of this material, where scale, media, and modes of presentation and realisation merge. The linear transition from drawing to model to built landscape and documentation is disrupted. The film explores the permeability of the image. Animated or activated through movement and operation, everything can be superimposed, overlaid, or cut into. An audio-visual encounter with place, within the space of the screen and the loudspeaker.
