LO-TEK is a 16mm film made during Tevlin’s residency with Harkat Studios, India (2024). Hand-developed and DIY contact-printed, the film engages in the language of experimental filmmaking processes and is material-focused. LO-TEK captures Kalimpong’s Himalayan region, where homes cling to slopes. The relationship between technology and the landscape is ever present, bringing into question historical Western ideas of progress and the mythology of technology. Malcolmson’s Untitled Soundscape #1 (2025) responds to Tevlin’s film. An open studio presents his studio work (2020–25), including sketchbooks, past exhibits, and future projects.

Lucy Tevlin is a visual artist based in Dublin. Her practice is defined by a conceptual approach to image-making. She uses image, text, film, and found materials to interrogate the spatial, mechanical, and historical properties of the photographic image. Her work explores concerns such as the materiality of the photographic apparatus and the dichotomies of truth versus fiction and public versus private.

Ben Malcolmson is a visual artist & curator from Belfast and based in Dublin. His fine art practice explores the parameters of photography, video and sculpture using alternative photographic processes with relation to one’s land and identity. His curatorial interests encompass social engagement and activism through a public-centred approach, particularly for young people.
