While at OSE Louis-Jack continued to develop films that consider the poetics, symbolic significance and societal role of haptic reasoning. Amongst works completed over the course of the year was Project (?/?), a film that excavates and collages legacies preserved within the rocks of the Lake District.

For the end of year show, Louis-Jack collaborated with fellow associate Henry Babbage to produce Gates of Rome. A video and multimedia installation that reflects on the role of creative production in expressing “radical” views at a time when they are subsumed into the mainstream and proliferate alongside brand sensibilities (image above).

The teaching programme at OSE also afforded Louis-Jack the opportunity to co-create Speculative Tours, a programme of lecture-style events that engaged with explorative approaches to knowledge sharing in the city of London. Tours included:  A Ramble Through Everyday Craft with Richard Wentworth; A Tour of Epstein Sculptures and Vermiculation with Sean Lynch; and A Hypochondriac’s Tour of Healthcare Architecture with Merlin Fulcher.
