Additional information

The film script I wrote for the film The Wanderer (dir. Laure Prouvost), was based on my translation of a novel by Kafka (’The Wanderer’ by Franz Kafka), which I translated with no understanding of the original language and no dictionary. I collaborated with artist Laure Prouvost to develop the film from the premise of this translation, and we secured £46,000 funding from Film London. I wrote the script and collaborated on set with the filming.

The finished film was premiered in October 2012, and is now distributed by Lux .

Performance Talks with Laure Prouvost have happened at the London Art Book Fair Whitechapel Gallery, University of Essex, Spike Island Bristol, CCA Glasgow, and The Hepworth gallery Wakefield.

This work has also developed into a performance of my own (The Illustrated Wanderer), commissioned by Tate Britain.

The ongoing translation has shown at various venues including Tate Britain, and the Whitechapel Gallery, London, Weisbaden Kunstverein, and Halle 14 Leipzig. The work has been recently completed as Writer in Residency at X Marks the Bokship, London, and the book is due for publication early next year with No Demand Books.

The Film has shown at galleries such as ICA London ACC Galerie, Weimar, Spike Island Bristol, International Project Space, Birmingham, Halle 14 Leipzig, The Hepworth Wakefield, and is distributed by Lux Artist’s Moving Image.
