Jenny Brady’s film works explore ideas around translation, communication and the limitations of language. By using narratives that slow our experience of looking at and listening to the moving image, she reveals potential mutualities between disparate subjects. Brady’s abstract video portraits, in which animals often appear as troubling figures of mistranslation, replicate the flawed processes of our discourse, heightened by her use of experimental music and unexpected rhythms, interruptions and commentary.
