Nebula

January 1, 2017 - January 31, 2017

Suzie Silver and Hilary Harp, American, 2007, 9:45 minutes 

Nebula is a hallucinogenically immersive spectacle: a complex, long-form audiovisual composition, which pays playful homage to science fiction fantasies. Captured using stop-motion photography, objects made of glass, glitter and tulle, are nestled within a kaleidoscope of computer-generated imagery. By creating illusions of distant galaxies out of craft materials they highlight the imagination’s power to transform the banal into the infinite.

Bataille

April 1, 2015 - April 30, 2015

Belgian, 2003, by Nicolas Provost, 7 min.

In Bataille, fragments from the Akira Kurosawa's 1951 film Rashomon are subject to a mirror effect. The term rashomon refers to situations in which multiple eye-witnesses give conflicting testimonies. Bataillerecounts the story of a woman being raped and a man being murdered from various rashomon perspectives. The mirror effect turns each character on themself, reiterating that the rashomon can be self-serving and people see only what they want to see.
