2017 Phil Hastings – We Stood Before Our Decisions Unsure

USA
15:00

Sinopsis:  Evolving from the Threshold Series, this work is a testament to the choices we make as we stand at a threshold. What lies beyond and within the void? Once one enters into a liminal state, all is possible but the results may not be what we expected. We Stood Before Our Decisions Unsure is specific to that moment when decisions have already been made and are now second-guessed. When the vast landscape of possibilities have become unending what ifs. We are left hoping that the decisions we’ve made result in positive actions or if not, then with at least a greater understanding of how to approach the next set of choices presented to us. We stand at the precipice, looking inward not yet able to see to the other side. The Threshold series manifests intangible thoughts and moments of decision with implied corporeal imagery.

Bio:  Phil Hastings is an artist and filmmaker whose work is rooted in the often-opposing subjects of the sciences and the spiritual with explorations tied to liminality and the transformation process. Concepts of adversity, transcendence, and rebirth are themes that infuse his work. He works in animation, experimental and narrative cinematic modes and has screened in festivals, galleries and museums internationally. His video documentation of the sexual cannibalism and reproduction practices of praying mantis has been licensed for shows on National Geographic television and the Canadian Broadcast Corporation and New Scientist magazine. He is a 2012 New York Foundation for the Arts Film/Video Fellow and was an invited artist in the 18th Biennale of Sydney where his film Steadfast was screened at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

2017 Pim Zwier – Three Dimensions of Time

Netherlands/Russia
13:30

Sinopsis: Three moments in time are captured in three layers of coloured imagery shown simultaneously. Combined, the layers form normal full-colour images of the elements which persist through time. Simultaneously transitory elements – animals, people, machines – move through these scenes in single colours, leaving only a brief trace, as if they’re memories or ghosts who have left behind their past, present or future. Some people have lived for so long that they become as stable as their surroundings. With dignity they become stereotypes of themselves, representatives of traditions which are as much a part of the landscape as the buildings. ‘Three Dimensions of Time’ is inspired by the photography of Sergey Prokudin-Gorskii and was filmed in Kansk, Siberia.

Bio:  I’m an independent film maker/ media artist and obtained my MFA at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam in 2003. I make documentaries, short films and videoinstallations. My films and installations balance between documentary and experimental film and have been shown at festivals around the world, in exhibitions, and on television.
