No-Context Slide Nights are small-scale ephemeral art events that re-imagine discarded images, curating them with an eye for story and pairing them with musical artists. What results is an unpredictable, entirely human experience, with no imposed narrative - only what the viewer creates from moment to moment.
Relying on mid-century tech and decades-old images, we're all about the flaws and mysteries of our found materials. From the nostalgia hit of a vivid 1964 Kodachrome slide — to a faded family group from '76 on Agfa film (ghostly faces somehow familiar); the inscrutable, the epic and the domestic live side by side here.
We create relaxing evenings where everyone's welcome: daydreamers, photo enthusiasts, music lovers, adventurers and you. For some, Slide Nights will draw on memory, or be an imaginative trip. Others might prefer to close their eyes and bathe in the stunning live music, the sound of the projector and time out of time.
