2001

Stan Brakhage’s films seek to encourage viewers to ignore traditional narrative structure in favour of pure visual perception and a visceral experience. Strongly inspired by the paintings of Gunter Forg, the hand-painted work Dark Night of The Soul depicts a dark brown wall, littered with yellowed images of other interiors, next to multicoloured holes that offer a glimpse of the outside world behind the shifting facade. 

Artist Rose Lowder makes all her films with a 16mm Bolex that allows her to film frame by frame. She skips and emulsifies some frames and leaves others blank, then uses the same camera to rewind and film these frames. With this method, she creates a new viewing experience in which two different situations are viewed simultaneously.
