The Metamorphosis (trailer for a film) is a multimedia short film directed and produced by Noah Read (featuring Hannah Blackwell as Grete), shot on 16mm and digital film, and utilising microscopy, photograms, medium- and large-format analogue photography, and film strips that has been scratched, melted, cut, twisted, torn, and otherwise violently manipulated.
Desktop Studios was founded between 2023 and '24 by Hannah Blackwell and Noah Read at the University of Westminster, London, producing and exhibiting a range of contemporary creative work in film, photography, and design, utilising a mix of mediums to create films, documentaries, design books, and live installations.
Stereoscopic; or, An Observation, was the first collaborative Desktop project, produced by Hannah Blackwell, written and directed by Noah Read, and shot and edited collectively, with Nattan Ralph and Daphne Wilson.
Following its release in December 2024, London Gallery West exhibited An Observation — a photography project by Noah Read containing photos taken during production for Stereoscopic — as a part of its February '25 exhibition Journey. The exhibition also showcased Hannah Blackwell's Name Bible, serving as a space to share the origin of people's individual names and highlighting the uniqueness of how we received the label which we respond to.
