| Introduction | Roderick has worked with video in the US, UK & Brazil. Overriding concerns in his work include the journey images take within other images, how images behave in different media and how they relate to each other, using photography and cinema as references. This applies to how images of the self are projected into the image world: through trance and other sublime experiences. His videos have been exhibited in art & film festivals in Colombia, Korea, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Serbia, U.S.A & U.K. He won Best Brazilian Video at the 2010 Arte.mov Festival. His first feature documentary was exhibited at the Africa World & RAI International Ethnographic Film Festivals. He is currently finishing "The First Tear", "The Minimum of the Minimum", and "Markers" His photographic work on African-Brazilian Heritage has been exhibited at Musée Dapper, Fundación Santillana and Museu Afro, and the BBC site. He has curated and worked in partnership with African-Brazilian priests in landmark exhibitions in São Paulo, investigating the fine line separating craft and art in religion. |
