The Safe Shipment of Small Cargo
The Safe Shipment of Small Cargo, takes video of an exhibition of my own video work in a shipping container, an art exhibition in shipping containers in Second Life, and combines it with 'Outgoing Cargo!', an archive film made in the 1950s. In it, the viewer is introduced to a new innovation: ‘a steel container called a cargo van’. The connecting link is the shipping container, through three locations with different arrangements of reality, actuality and virtuality.

Tess started working with the moving image in 2015, initially for work purposes in marketing. Then, as Tizzy Canucci in Second Life, she started experimenting with the possibilities of machinima. She has now produced 30 films, each exploring a different idea or a different way of telling a story. She has a wide range of influences, informed by her previous writing and editing experience. She is particularly influenced the concise forms of music video, animation and poetry.
Tess is currently a PhD candidate student/researcher in Contemporary Art at Lancaster University.
Tess worked with visuals and words for about 16 years before she starting making video works. Previously she used her own still photograph, writing and food research to produce a series of printed products and publish two books from her home in south Cumbria. Her main skill is as an editor, fusing together different narrative forms: words, images and sound.
