Lynne Marsh, Resurrection Restoration, 2016,

'Resurrection Restoration' was filmed inside the famous ex-Carlton Cinema on Essex Road. The building is currently owned by an Evangelical Church that use it as a church. Marsh focuses on the way that evangelical worship is a performance and praying is mostly takes the form of singing. The 1930s auditorium is currently being renovated and restored back to its original proportions so the notion of re-birth is both literal – the building – and metaphorical in the way that resurrection underlies the ethos of this form of religion.

Lynne Marsh, Tragedy (Excerpt – Act 2), 2015 – 16,

'Tragedy', co-produced with the Opera North in Leeds, brings forth an altered experience of the infamous opera La Traviata. Mimicking the framing device of a play within a play, the piece produces a production of production, bringing an operatic tradition into context with present-day realities and pronouncing the mechanics that create an experience.

Lynne Marsh, Anna and the Tower (excerpt Screen 3), 2014,

'Anna and the Tower' is a 3-channel installation co-commissioned by TIFF and the Goethe-Institut Toronto that conflates documentary and performance. Filmed in an old airport outside of Berlin that was once a Soviet airbase, the work features Anna, a young air traffic controller. Presented on three conjoined screens that reference the windows of Anna’s tower, the work conveys a sense of latency, expectation, and a desire to will events into being.

Lynne Marsh, The Philharmonie Project (Nielsen: Symphony No. 5) Excerpt screen 1 followed by screen 2, 2012,

(Nielsen: Symphony No. 5) is a two channel video installation based on the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra’s performance of Carl Nielsen’s 5th Symphony. One video channel focuses on the video production team while they film and broadcast the concert live. The second video shows the camera choreography designed for the live broadcast recorded as a rehearsal before the concert.

Lynne Marsh, Camera Opera, 2008,

'Camera Opera' is filmed on the set of a 'Das Duell', a German current-affairs television program. Here, the role of the cameras in conventional news broadcasting is reversed: they become the subject and the performance of filming becomes the action. Five camera operators are directed through a series of choreographed movements set to Strauss waltzes.

Lynne Marsh, Stadium, 2008,

The Olympiastadion in Berlin, the infamous site of Leni Riefenstahl's film on the 1936 Olympic Games, is both setting and protagonist in 'Stadium'. The video employs techniques favoured by Riefenstahl, including the crane shot, long circular travelling shot and low-angle shot. The work exhibits the persistent legacy of representations of power and control in photography and cinema, all the way up to contemporary imaging from video games to epic films.
