A mutual intrigue in each other's creative practice led to 'Moments Hovered', a four day residency at Bermondsey Project Space during which Mifsud and Sayer employed a variety of basic materials including pallet wrapping film, tape and string, along with a couple of small digital projectors and an OHP, in order to investigate ways of spontaneously integrating site responsive immersive installation with text based animations.
In the resulting work, an excerpt from John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men slowly drifts from two facing projectors across a dynamic central installation of film and string. The resulting visual impression, almost holographic in appearance, is a multi-dimensional deconstruction of the animations into many planes of interweaving translucent typographic forms. Other unusual effects also arise as the projections are refracted through the clear plastic, which fills the space with gently pulsating hues of purple and green.

‘As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. Then gradually time awakened again and moved sluggishly on.’
John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men (1937)
