SHHH!

Overview

In answer to the brief to create a piece that would engage a younger audience, Jack Sachs created an animated film tour of Tate Britain. Commissioned by Tate Collective for the BP Loud Tate event, a day of performances and workshops, SHHH! sees Jack’s animated creations invade motion-tracked footage of the gallery’s interior space.

It was made in just three weeks, including several shoots before the gallery’s opening hours, and reactive animation inspired by those visits. “The process was very organic. A lot of the ideas that I’d had prior to shooting never made it into the film as they didn’t feel like genuine responses to the space or artworks. We got to make a lot of fun, creative decisions that weren’t bound by a client brief.”
