Hot Sheet - Expanding the Boundaries of Photography, 2024
Film and photography are deeply interconnected, both capturing moments in time. In his film Cloudwatching, Tom explores this relationship through a series of cloud photographs edited together using 3D animation software. The software stretches, compresses, and distorts the images, transforming these simple scenes to complex forms. Paired with a carefully crafted soundscape, the film creates a dreamlike reality, as the familiar shapes of clouds morph into an otherworldly, uncanny rhythm.
Artist Bio
Tom Faber is a London-based artist whose works capture haunted weather and environments in permanent flux. Using 3D animation and digital painting, he acts as a neurotic set designer who is trapped in another realm, imagining world-models constantly forming and collapsing. Often his scenes point towards the natural world, but hover in delusion and escapism. By recycling and collaging marks, or choreographing fabric over terrains and objects, his works make environments perform a ghostly dance, unfolding dissonant feelings of immersion within atmospheres which are seismically changing.
