McClure’s performances employ multiple film projectors to create minimal yet intense and immersive audiovisual spectacles. Writing in Artforum, noted film critic Ed Halter describes McClure’s work as “a re-mystification of cinema, bringing the experience closer to its Victorian roots in stage magic and optical instruments meant to illicit astonishment and wonder, but calibrated for a twenty-first century audience attuned to the aesthetics of noise and distortion.” Though McClure’s work is resolutely cinematic, it also pushes at the boundaries between film, theater, music, and the visual arts.
