Summary

Williams' fast-paced, visually relentless, narrative films, are based on social observation and re-imagination as well as his own positioning within both worlds. In ‘The Starry Messenger’, made for his solo presentation representing Wales at the 2013 Venice Biennale, Williams ponders the connection between the microcosmos in a terrazzo floor and the infinite space around us. The viewer is asked to imagine themself as a small, trapped piece of stone within a complex system.
