Light Field presents:
Fugue (2015, 8 min, 16mm, sound, b/w)
Through an exploration of movement and sound, rhythm and physicality in the material film, I examine the relation between sound and physicality and sound and the body of film. I analyze the technical procedure of movement of film and movement of the body, and the links between those sounds and movements in order to understand both the actual and active part of movement as a component of the film material as well as the consequences the material has for social and physical bodies.

The Man Who Could Not See Far Enough – Peter Rose (1981 / 33 minutes / 16mm / color / sound)
“A powerfully formal, analytic inquiry into the nature of vision and cinema… painfully beautiful images of mysterious events and things that split, multiply, migrate and quiver with a hallucinatory vibrance… a rich fabric interlacing the metaphysical with the ironical.” – Sally Banes, The Village Voice
