Physical is a single-channel video work captured by Gill and their collaborators on smart phones and amateur range camcorders and given narrative form during the edit. It's ambivalence to definition is predicated by using the possibility of slipperiness and fracturedness as a methodological model. The film embraces amateurism and improvisation, paired with theatrical staging and style - and editing techniques which see the image literally slide out of frame.
