Join Morgan Quaintance in conversation with Laura Harris and Chiemi Shimada as they discuss Quaintance’s film Available Light. Exploring themes of home and belonging in contemporary society, Available Light features interviews with workers at the Edo Tokyo Open Air Architecture Museum in Japan, alongside fragments of conversations with renters in both Tokyo and London. These elements spark a thought-provoking dialogue between the museum’s preserved historical ideal of the domestic and the often-unsettling realities of temporary accommodation in modern cities. Amongst many things, Morgan, Laura and Chiemi will explore how an artist and academic can work in 'parallel', the cultural significance of preservation and shifts that occur when the location of a building changes. Available Light was shot and produced as part of a parallel collaboration with Anniversary Fellow and University of Southampton’s Senior Research Fellow, Laura Harris. Morgan Quaintance is a London-based artist and writer. His moving image work has been shown and exhibited widely at festivals and institutions including: MOMA, New York; McEvoy Foundation for the Arts, San Francisco; Konsthall C, Sweden; David Dale, Glasgow; European Media Art Festival, Germany; Alchemy Film and Arts Festival, Scotland; Images Festival, Toronto; International Film Festival Rotterdam; and Third Horizon Film Festival, Miami. Laura Harris is an Anniversary Fellow in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology at the University of Southampton. Her research explores the work of making places meaningful. She often uses visual methods, such as photography, to conduct her research. With a background in the sociology of art and art theory, Harris is interested in exchanges between artists, arts organisations and sociologists. Chiemi Shimada Chiemi Shimada is a London-based artist and filmmaker. Working with analogue and digital materials, her videos and installations explore and interrogate memory, intimacy, liminal states, climate and late stage capitalism.
