title: Reel Six: Charles Ludlam’s Grand Tarot

overview: The New York underground linked the paths of the actor and playwright Charles Ludlam, the superstar of avant-garde cinema Mario Montez and the Argentine artist Leandro Katz. An underground community found refuge in a porn cinema that Ludlam rented at night to stage his theater of the ridiculous. In 1970 he premiered The Grand Tarot, an extravagant burlesque where the arcana became characters and a reading of cards before the performance began established the order of the scenes. Rollo Six materializes that furtive experience, recovering in its formal commitment the inventiveness of chance that guided Ludlam's work. Katz superimposes edited scenes in camera, fracturing the screen through the use of masks that cover the lens and allow him to separately expose each corner of the frame.

title: Rollo seis: El Grand Tarot de Charles Ludlam

overview: El underground de Nueva York enlazó los caminos del actor y dramaturgo Charles Ludlam, el superstar del cine avant-garde Mario Montez y el artista argentino Leandro Katz. Una comunidad subterránea encontraba refugio en un cine porno que Ludlam alquilaba por las noches para llevar a escena su teatro del ridículo. En 1970 estrenó El Grand Tarot, un burlesque extravagante donde los arcanos devenían personajes y una tirada de cartas antes de comenzar la función fijaba el orden de las escenas. Rollo seis materializa esa experiencia furtiva, recuperando en su apuesta formal la inventiva del azar que guiaba la obra de Ludlam. Katz superpone escenas editadas en cámara, fracturando la pantalla a través del uso de máscaras que cubren el lente y le permiten exponer separadamente cada uno de los rincones del fotograma.

title: Reel Six: Charles Ludlam’s Grand Tarot

overview: De New Yorkse underground verbond de paden van acteur en toneelschrijver Charles Ludlam, de superster van de avant-gardecinema Mario Montez en de Argentijnse kunstenaar Leandro Katz. Een ondergrondse gemeenschap vond onderdak in een pornobioscoop die Ludlam 's nachts huurde om zijn theater van het belachelijke op te voeren. In 1970 bracht hij The Grand Tarot in première, een extravagante burleske waarin de arcana karakters werden en een kaartlezing voordat de voorstelling begon de volgorde van de scènes bepaalde. Rollo Six materialiseert die heimelijke ervaring en hervindt in zijn formele engagement de inventiviteit van het toeval die Ludlams werk leidde. Katz legt bewerkte scènes in de camera over elkaar heen, waardoor het scherm wordt gebroken door het gebruik van maskers die de lens bedekken en hem in staat stellen elke hoek van het beeld afzonderlijk te belichten.

title: Waiting for the time to pass

overview: A dog waits in a car. The windows fog up and we hear the creature panting and whining softly – his impatience and restlessness are contagious. The dog is entirely at the mercy of people in escaping from this predicament. Janis Rafa connects this image with early Soviet space flights in which dogs were sent into space as part of experiments. Waiting for the Time to Pass is a new work, made during the corona pandemic, and the association with the limited freedom of movement and uncertainty about the lockdown is clear. In her earlier work, Rafa often commented subtly on the ecological disaster caused by anthropocentrism.

title: Lacuna

overview:
Lacuna: 1. an empty space or a missing part; a gap; an absence. 2. a discontinuity in an anatomical structure.
Different textures of grief and acceptance emerge and the camera eye becomes a lens into the interior. Space is inhabited by memory; memory becomes a gesture that seeks the past.
Lacuna is a poetic meditation that navigates a landscape of absence, memory and transformation through image and sound.

title: Lacuna

title: Terroir

overview: Roughly translated terroir can mean a sense of place and coming from a place. This piece is an image/sound portrait of a personal geography as well as formal investigation of digital media. Captured entirely on a cell phone, the camera records a landscape in constant motion and disintegration. This fluctuating image is married to a sound-scape that grasps for connection that reaches over distance. It is generated from the messages left by friends and loved ones on my cellphone over the course of several years. The raw material of both image and sound come from the same place, the cell phone, which I use to record the environment around me as I move across the Canadian landscape. Rarely does one stay where one is born, we move, modern life almost necessitates it. This piece explores notions of communication and distance, technology and intimacy.

Primitive figures which evoke Peruvian history emerge from Chantal duPont's paintings and take part in actual situations. In his flight, the eagle releases aman, only to eventually become his prisoner. From within a blaze where birds are consumed, a human form emerges. It has become both stone and archeological symbol.

title: Ghostly

overview: Inspired by Japanese experimental cinema, Ghostly is an audiovisual composition that uses traditional techniques, such as long exposure photography and stop-motion animation, and pushes them to their limits through digital media. Using the frame rate as a way to create rhythmic interconnections between sound and image, the stop-motion animation oscillates between 6 and 48 frames per seconds. The sounds of this work were created and edited in direct relation to the flow of the image.

Благодаря экстремальному – до двух метров – расстоянию между двумя синхронизированными камерами, снимавшими стереоскопические сцены, видение зрителя расширяется, делая его гигантом, а город — миниатюрой из картонных фигурок и кукольных домиков. Стереоскопический подход, используемый в 二〇二〇 (в переводе с китайского «2020» ), создает эффект остранения: город перестраивается для зрителя так, чтобы привлечь внимание к коллективно изолированным жизням, скрытым внутри его зданий. 二〇二〇 – это попытка инкапсулировать темноту, ограничение и неопределенность 2020 года — года глобальной пандемии и  введения в Гонконге закона о национальной безопасности.

overview: The new 16mm film Radiant Exposures—Facts Run on Light Beams These Days (the latter part of the title quotes from Donna Haraway) returns to Rosa Barba’s long-standing motif of the desert and its exploration of modern archives as a manifestation of human’s desire for progress. As in previous films, Radiant Exposures—Facts Run on Light Beams These Days appears to portray a site out of time and space—ethereal, timeless and unearthly.  The predominant motif of the film is the human-made landscape with large expanses of rectangular panels reflecting the sun light. These reflective panels are in fact concentrating  sunlight, creating and collecting energy. The presence of the sun is made palpable by the shimmering light and the and the blurring of the imagery.

overview: Korte film: De nieuwe 16mm-film Radiant Exposures – Facts Run on Light Beams These Days (het laatste deel van de titel citeert Donna Haraway) keert terug naar Rosa Barba's al lang bestaande motief van de woestijn en haar verkenning van moderne archieven als een manifestatie van het menselijke verlangen naar voortgang. Net als in eerdere films lijkt Radiant Exposures – Facts Run on Light Beams These Days een plek buiten tijd en ruimte te portretteren: etherisch, tijdloos en onaards. Het overheersende motief van de film is het door de mens gemaakte landschap met grote uitgestrekte rechthoekige panelen die het zonlicht reflecteren. Deze reflecterende panelen concentreren in feite zonlicht, waardoor energie wordt gecreëerd en verzameld. De aanwezigheid van de zon wordt voelbaar gemaakt door het glinsterende licht en de vervaging van de beelden.

overview: We all carry machines is a lecture-performance that encompasses a film screening and spoken testimony of a meeting with a group city maintenance workers. This is a side-project of my artistic PhD in which I use performance to explore the social component of images that are made during practice-based research.  Every autumn the streets of Amsterdam fill up with fallen leaves. The various brown hues that carpet the city are often a beautiful sight, but it lasts only for a moment as a day of rain can turn everything into a slippery brown mush. Alongside the fallen leaves, figures dressed in orange also appear. Leaf blowers.

title: Test

overview: These experiments for Baes’s stop motion film ‘46 bis, rue de Belleville’ are an art work in its own right. The stop motion technique he uses belongs to the realm of animation. He never handles the camera in an obvious way, but shoots frame per frame in order to come up with a dreamlike staccato effect. With ‘Test’ Pascal Baes sets up his trademark: a low-tech edition of the time-lapse photography, applied to choreography.

title: FeedBlackJect

overview: Pascal Baes experiments with the reflecting feedback of a video projector in a meticulous interaction with a performance by his life companion Aï Suzuki. In post-processing, the images were digitally edited, which results in an expressionist, abstract study of the human body. With the help of various effects, Baes radically intervenes on the images, mutating shapes, penetrating textures and reconstructing his visual experiment into a psychedelic phantasm of the ‘corpus humanis’ and distorted sensuality. Demographical lines fuse together with shreds of human body and facial traits in a restless outburst of colour, lighting and movement, expanding in interaction with an electronic composition of sliding and lashing sounds into a claustrophobic experience.

Here, the themes of food and sexuality are negotiated;  more specifically, it's about French "haute cuisine," which is brought into a sexually charged  context during the film. The boundaries between the art of cooking, food consumption and sex  become blurred in FOOD LOVE; the food that the protagonist creates is consumed in a multiple  sense and serves physical gratification in an ambiguous sense. In the order of a French menu,  sexual acts are performed with and on the dishes. After the climax, however, a surprise awaits:  it is an inconspicuous fast-food burger that is finally eaten by the protagonist.

By forming different constellations of images, meaning is left open.

overview: Korte film: Het werk is een videogedicht, een verkenning en reflectie op het gevoel van visie als hulpmiddel om betekenaars te begrijpen - maar ook en nog belangrijker, als middel waarmee we iets kunnen interpreteren door het op een intuïtief niveau te voelen. Ontdaan van hun oorspronkelijke context, en verstoken van woorden of geluiden, wordt de fantasie van mixed-media samengevoegd in een niet-lineaire vorm van verhalen vertellen. Door verschillende constellaties van beelden te vormen, wordt de betekenis opengelaten.

title: Heaven and Earth

overview: Continuously running video installation: in a small alcove, a wood column extends from the floor and ceiling, with a gap in the center formed by two exposed video monitors facing each other two inches apart, mounted to upper and lower columns respectively, a black-and-white video image on each monitor. The upper monitor shows a close-up image of an old woman on the verge of death, and the lower monitor shows a close-up image of a new baby only days old. The images are silent. Since the surface of each monitor screen is glass, a reflected image of the screen opposite to it can be seen through the surface of each image, as life and death reflect and contain each other.

title: Heaven and Earth

overview: Installation vidéo en continu : dans une petite alcôve, une colonne en bois s'étend du sol et du plafond, avec un espace au centre formé par deux moniteurs vidéo exposés se faisant face à deux pouces de distance, montés respectivement sur les colonnes supérieure et inférieure, une vidéo en noir et blanc sur chaque moniteur. Le moniteur supérieur montre une image en gros plan d'une vieille femme sur le point de mourir, et le moniteur inférieur montre une image en gros plan d'un nouveau bébé âgé de quelques jours seulement. Les images sont silencieuses. Étant donné que la surface de chaque écran de contrôle est en verre, une image réfléchie de l'écran opposé peut être vue à travers la surface de chaque image, car la vie et la mort se reflètent et se contiennent l'une l'autre.

title: The Road

overview: Set in a liminal desert space, The Road (Ճանապարհ) contemplates how it feels to be in the world at this moment through overlapping narratives of isolation and connection. The stories of five sets of characters, suspended in time and space, unfold and collide on the very same road, set against a soundtrack by the Armenian-Australian jazz band, Zela Margossian Quintet.  “Each of the five narratives in our work are centred around decisive moments in people’s lives; from this point forward these characters will be forever changed as they undergo some sort of renewal, redemption or transcendence,” says director Charlotte Mungomery. “We were also interested in the conceptual and almost existential notion of a road and humanity’s attempt to control the uncontrollable and tame the untameable.”

title: Refuge for Resurgence, Window View

overview: The “Window View” from “Refuge for Resurgence” offers a glimpse into a layered rewilded city: various notions of normality are now underwater. It depicts how human and nonhuman life come together to revive their surroundings. It imagines a new home, a home built on humility, resourcefulness, and imagination. A home strong enough to weather the storm, to rise from the flood, to endure the heat. This might be a hotter, wetter, more organic city cohabited by all species. Hope is the linchpin of resurgence.

Het toont hoe menselijk en niet-menselijk leven samenkomen om hun omgeving nieuw leven in te blazen. Het stelt een nieuw huis voor, een huis gebouwd op nederigheid, vindingrijkheid en verbeeldingskracht. Een huis dat sterk genoeg is om de storm te doorstaan, om uit de overstroming op te staan, om de hitte te verdragen. Dit zou een hetere, nattere, meer organische stad kunnen zijn waar alle soorten samenleven. Hoop is de spil van de heropleving.
