Jacqueline Passmore

Artist Filmmaker & Director

Biography

Jacqueline Passmore is an artist filmmaker and director working at the intersection of moving image, light and architecture. Her practice spans kinetic light installation, projection and live performance — work conceived for the scale of a building and the duration of an experience.

Her installations have been staged at Tate Modern — from bicycle-powered zoetropes that turn the audience into the engine of the work, to large-scale projection performances with collaborators including assume vivid astro focus and Ladytron. For Art on the Underground she created Underline, exhibited at The Photographer's Gallery.

Across the gallery, fashion and architecture — including collaborations with Fyodor Golan at London Fashion Week and projects with Zaha Hadid Architects — Passmore treats light as a material and the moving image as something to be inhabited rather than simply watched.

Bicycle Zoetrope

A zoetrope powered by the audience itself — gallery-goers pedal stationary bicycles to drive a spinning ring of light into animation. The work only lives while the room participates.
