Altered Landscapes

Curator: Martin Grennberger (SE)

This programme encompasses works in which rhythm, structure and subtle patterning could be seen as constructive matrixes. Spanning structural investigations, fractured storytelling, portraiture and diaristic leanings, these films also enforce attention to the play and textures of light, its luminescence and voluminous alternations. The prominent presence of landscapes (historical, personal, proximate) infuses these works – some more elusively, some more directly – with questions of memory and its phantasms, intimacy and dispersion, imprint and disruptive representations.
