Made in first year at art school, Troll is a ‘horror film’ shot on the rooftop carpark at Hurstville Station with friends Michelle Seamons and Herbert Ng, while invoking Björk via a sample from The Sugarcubes’ ‘Take Some Petrol Darling’. Troll is juvenilia at best, notable only in that it hatched a video art practice immersed in pop songs and music video aesthetics.
