NEVEN presents five consecutive days of moving image screenings at the gallery. Young Boy Dancing Group 04.2026, 2026 Single-channel video, colour, sound 6 minutes 11 seconds

Young Boy Dancing Group mobilises the moving image as an extension of its distinctive choreographic and live performance practice. Filmed through a warped lens, this work uses distortion, proximity, and spatial disorientation to confuse distinctions between body, environment and image, continuously folding dancers, architecture and perspective into one another. The result is a visual field in which individual bodies appear at once singular, collective, and sculptural. The camera becomes an active participant and point of view in the choreography, generating shifting perspectives that destabilise conventional modes of spectatorship and orientation. Accompanied by an original soundtrack by Berlin-based music producer and electronic artist K. G. Helm, the work unfolds as a dizzying audiovisual and kinetic installation.

Featuring Manu Anima, Maria Metsalu, r seventeen, Toni Walker.

Hongxi Li anAppointment, 2025 Single-channel video, colour, sound 23 minutes 33 seconds

anAppointment features Li in the role of Jolene, a fictional persona who recurs across the artist’s projects as both a character and a medium. Dressed in grey corporate attire, Jolene embodies an East Asian female archetype that Li uses to question social roles and explore themes of collective pressure, aspiration, and emotional discomfort. anAppointment documents the unscripted encounter between the fictional character and a real dominatrix, Mistress Iris, who guides Jolene through her first “looning” session. Looning – or balloon fetishism – involves the erotic enjoyment of inflating, rubbing, sitting on, or popping balloons. The encounter unfolds as an exploration of desire, control, and exposure, gradually revealing Jolene’s unspoken fears and longings. As the improvised performance progresses, the boundary between character and creator begins to blur, allowing fiction, authorship, and embodied experience to bleed into one another.

Jill Westwood RAW UNKNOWN, 2024 Single-channel video, colour, sound 23 minutes

RAW UNKNOWN is an audio-visual-poetic work that traverses more than four decades of Jill Westwood's practice. Originally conceived as part of a live performance for Nothing Short of A Total War! at the Brighton Festival (Spiegel Tent, 28 May 2024), a transgressive event in dialogue with the legacies of Coil, Throbbing Gristle and COUM, the film was inspired by a pivotal conversation with Nicolas Ballet following Westwood's interview for his book Shock Factory. Edited in a distinctly analogue, collage-based visual language reminiscent of the industrial and underground moving-image culture of the 1980s, the film layers Super 8 footage, performance documentation, sound and text into a dense, associative montage. Notably included is documentation of Fistfuck performances, fragments from Westwood's 1984 film The Wound, and subsequent collaborations through to 2024, tracing a continuous thread through Westwood's "life as art" approach. Through image, sound and reflection, Westwood explores what she describes as the "sacred and RAW UNKNOWN", asking what lies hidden within the unconscious, waiting to be revealed.

Adam Lewis Jacob Ecstatic _____, 2025 Single-channel video, colour, sound 9 minutes 28 seconds

Ecstatic ______ (AKA Ecstatic Blank), 2025, draws on research into post-war Japanese countercultures, historical left-wing direct action, and DIY music scenes. Referencing filmmakers Matsumoto Toshio and Adachi Masao, alongside writer Suzuki Izumi and photographer Nakahira Takuma, the work combines original and found footage, loosely following an unnamed protagonist played Bianca Scout trying to escape the city. Rooted in historical experimental film techniques and improvisation, the film features a snare-drum performance by the pioneering Japanese musician Ryosuke Kiyasu opposite Glasgow-based viola player Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh.

Leo Costelloe Hats Shoes Handbags, 2026 Single-channel video, colour, sound

Hats Shoes Handbags adopts the distinctive vernacular of British Pathé’s fashion shorts, shown in movie theatres prior to main features between 1910 and the 1970s. These quick, engaging "cinemagazine” features showcased the latest seasonal designs, runway shows, and street styles, a primary source for clothing trends and style evolution before the rise of television. In Costelloe’s work, a spotlighted model moves through a series of historically inspired fashion poses, wearing a variety of vintage outfits while an intimate monologue, voiced in French by designer Monique Fei, narrates the dissonant collision of seductive couture with ecological catastrophe. Written like a compulsive, sensory shopping list of fabrics, brand names and items, the script meditates on excess and fantasy, exploring consumer desire, self-fashioning and the uneasy pleasures of glamour in an age of collapse. The work exposes how luxury and consumption can function simultaneously as seduction, protection and denial.
