McClure creates hypnotic and immersive film experiences from a minimal quantity of audio-visual information. Loops constructed by bleaching clear frames from opaque emulsion are manipulated live by the filmmaker, using guitar effects pedals and adapted 16mm projectors, which have been modified in order to vary their intensity, speed and framing.
