Poster for Not Moldova 1937

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

"In another virtuoso turn, the artist brings her exemplary camera eye to Moldova, home of her grandparents, before they were driven out along with their Jewish comrades, thousands of them killed. Fragments of survivor testimonials mix with archival photographs and objects, along with present-day city celebrations (what is being forgotten in these civic rites of memory?). Haunted natural scapes grow over the dead, the abandoned graveyards and stones mark the places where culture and community used to be performed. This is a synoptic act of grieving, but also: a summoning of the present, a conjuring of the thousand ways that the betrayals of neighbours and friends marked out the Jews who had lived peaceably amongst them for generations, newly caught now in a terror of state oppression and greed."- Mike Hoolboom

2020 · ★ 0.0 (0)

This film brings consciousness around this "condition," of residing in the temporary shelter of a body and of the impermanent and illusory concept of being well.

Poster for Scliar: A Persistência da Paisagem

1991 · ★ 5.0 (1)

Scliar, a painter of the world, immersed in the time of his silence. All that the artist sought to bring to the skin and heart of his painting is the inner vibration of every inhabitant of the world. The chromatic vibration does not come from the paints but from the land he harvests from each place he visits. Scliar used earth to give colour to his canvases.
