Born in 1993 in Nelspruit, South Africa, Megan-Leigh Heilig grew up in Johannesburg, graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand with a Bachelor in Fine Art (BFA) in 2015 and is currently studying towards a Masters in Fine Art (MFA) at the University of Cape Town.
She works primarily in video, film, installation and sculpture. Megan has recently exhibited in the Seven Hills 2nd Kampala Biennale: Virtual Mobilities, curated by Elise Atangana, with a focus on selected video. She was also recently nominated for best experimental short by the Top Indie Film Awards 2016; and showed at the Joburg Fringe in an interactive collection of videos curated by Dean Hutton titled OpenlinkXchange. She has also intervened in project and public spaces through various other site specific and collaborative engagements.
This is an unexceptional video with no particular focus or intention. It features a random conversation, some hungry pigeons and an "African Screen". It is quite a POINTLESS use of 6 minutes and 58 seconds. The editing involves layering two images, completely unrelated to each other or the sound track with no other purpose than to experiment.
