Silent Treatment is a film piece in which two subjects who had never met were invited into a studio and left alone for an hour opposite each other, with two camcorders positioned to capture each of their faces. The subjects were asked not to speak for the duration of the hour. The film was first exhibited in 2006 at the CSA exhibition in Cambridge as a split screen installation on one monitor. It was then shown as a two screen installation at the AOP Gallery in 2006, and again in this format at JaguarShoes Collective film gallery in 2012. Footage from the film was also used to make The Broken Family Band’s music video It’s All Over in 2006, featuring in Topshop Oxford street and on MTV2.
