A dream of many years has come true: I had a hand in curating this programme on Serge Daney for the ICA, in conjunction with the dossier we produced on SD with @Sabzianbe
25 Jun 2025
Serge Daney (1944–1992), called "the end of criticism" by Godard, remains a towering voice in film thought. In partnership with Sabzian journal, we present 12 films reflecting his cinephilic, internationalist vision.

I wrote an essay for yanco: 'Reclaiming Archives: Images in Fracture'.
It reflects on a short film programme centered around archives, political images, fragmentation, and the limits of representation.

My new piece for the May 2026 issue of @ArtMonthly: an obituary on the great Frederick Wiseman.
Centred on National Gallery (2014), and on how his films patiently build meaning through observation — where the work endures even as the life that produced it passes.

New piece in issue 03 of Narrow Margin:
‘Juliette or foliage?’ — on The Wild Palms, realised by Michael Witt at the @ICALondon.
A Godard project enacted through reel-by-reel alternation of two films — merging into and thinking through one another.
