Landings: re-viewing the world
15 January - 26 February 2011
Landings:
re-viewing the world includes works by three artists that use different animation
techniques to offer new perspectives on the world we live in.
13
by Simon Faithfull (UK) portrays a melancholy journey through a
strangely dissolving and pixelated landscape. Created from PalmPilot
drawings, the film presents
the journey in the mind of a dog as it sniffs its way back to Barking.
Inger
Lise Hansen (UK/Norway) presents a trilogy.
Travelling Fields
includes architectural elements and different ground surfaces in the
Murmansk region, Kola Peninsula, Russia.
Parallax, shot on the
rooftop of a department store in Linz, Austria, celebrates the supremacy
of the machine over the human gaze.
Proximity, shot on a beach
in North Jutland, Norway, depicts a mysterious and disorienting space
in accelerated time. In all her works an upside down time lapse camera
is moved, frame by frame, on a track inverting the ground and the sky.
Without
You by Tal Rosner (UK/Israel) is inspired by a poem by Josef
Albers. The film is a visual exploration of an imaginary circle drawn at a ten mile radius
from Charing Cross, London.
Spacexxx Screening Night, Thursday 24 February, 7-8pm, ages 18+, free, booking essential
