Derek Jarman‘s ‘Blue’ (1993)
Blue is Jarman’s final feature film, released four months before his death from AIDS-related complications. The disease had already rendered him partially blind at the time of the film’s release.
The film was his last testament as a film-maker, and consists of a single shot of saturated blue colour filling the screen, as background to a soundtrack where Jarman’s and some of his favourite actors’ narration describes his life and vision.
‘OUTNUMBERED, a brief history of imposture’ (2009), by Jasper Rigole
An installation that generates a moving image, using a found panoramic photograph from 1936. The installation is computer-controlled and generates an aleatoric narrative using an extensive database of people who, in some way, are associated with imposture.
Below are two nice documentation-videos of the installation, made in SMAK, Ghent in 2009.
Just to remind you all:
Tomorrow, Friday the 6th, is the opening of Hedwig Houben‘s show @ Galerie Gallery. We would like to invite you all to come to the opening and see new work by Hedwig. Also, she will be doing a live performance, so don’t be late!
