Sit with me for a moment and remember

Michael Pinchbeck shows the first film of himself in existence - an 8mm amateur movie of his Christening shot by his late Uncle Fred.

He is on film but he cannot recall being filmed. He is there but he is not there. The performance is an act of repair, an invitation to remember the event and to help him to fill in the gaps left behind.

Created for the Biennale of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean in Italy 2009, the Christening project was supported by Arts Council England, Dance4, Nottingham Trent University and Trampoline.
