About Leaving and Arriving
"I was attracted by the Isaburo train journey that runs between Kumamoto and Hitoyoshi because it passes through a landscape of multiple mountains. I took a return ride on this line and shot on a 16mm film camera going in and out of the tunnels."
Inspired by the historic train rides from the now-defunct Tanjong Pagar Railway Station in Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, experimental filmmaker Lynn Loo started a series of ‘movement’ films that capture states of stasis and flux. With a Bolex 16mm camera, she first recorded the window reflection of the cabin’s interior and exterior as the train moved through tunnels and landscapes, later superimposing these scenes on top of each other to create a series of repeated images on two sides of the same screen.
About the Artist
Born in Singapore and based in London, Lynn Loo is an artist and filmmaker who works with systems designed to challenge visual perception and open new connections between representation and abstraction.
Lynn is best known for her expanded cinema performances, such as Autumn Fog (2010), Washi (2014) and Asanuma (2024) which have toured extensively around UK and Europe. Her philosophy lies in the simplicity in narrative and depth through forms, shapes and movement. Her practice has been referenced in seminal publications on expanded cinema, and continues to curate and exhibit at international film, sound and arts festivals internationally, including Rotterdam Film Festival, EXiS Festival Seoul, Eye Film Institute Amsterdam, Cafe Oto London, Alternative Visions Tokyo, and more.

ArtScience Interlude: Matthew Chan
Shot on a handheld Mini DV camera, Still or Sparkling (2023) explores the way light dances with water, harnessing the expressive, imperfect qualities of early digital technology to create images akin to Impressionist paintings.
