Drawing inspiration from the layered patterns found in nature and urban play spaces – tidal rhythms of waves and slot machines, moonlight shimmers and flickering arcade lights – Roll the Dice explores tensions between randomness and repetition, pleasure and discomfort, connection and disconnection, winning and losing.
The resulting film layers abstract fragments of movement and light from a bespoke Move To Feel session held on Portobello Beach in July, led by Ailsa Lochhead and filmed by Solen Collet. Intercut with the neon pulse of Noble’s Amusements, the black-and-white installation becomes a sensory collage – blurring serenity and overstimulation, meditative dance and hypnotic gameplay – inviting viewers to gamble with perception itself.
About
Ailsa Lochhead and Solen Collet collaborate at the intersection of process, image and emotion. Guided by somatic intuition and creative play, they transmute experience into layered works that deepen the dialogue between body and material. Their collaboration is an evolving exploration of place, image, and the unseen currents within.
Artist Talk
As part of the Walking Tour of Route 2 (starting from Nobles) on Sat 6 September: 11am, will be a short introductory talk from the artists.
