Poster for A Study of Form Through Movement

— · ★ 0.0 (0)

We never think about being efficient in the way we move. A Study of Form Through Movement takes inspiration from Frank and Lillian Gilbreth’s theories on time and movement efficiency as it attempts to depict the final form of a specific action. The final form of movement is something the naked eye cannot see, which is why it is represented here by the changing jumbles of lines; each line sequence is different as each follows a distinct activity.

On 1st April 2017, China launched the Xiong’an New Area project, intending to turn the region into a new megacity. In recognition of the accelerated urbanisation that has left the rural environment in a vacuum, Daphne Xu invites workers and residents to put on a performance in these non-places, thus dealing with a taboo subject with humour. – Tom Bidou

Poster for Carl Ruggles' Christmas Breakfast

1963 · ★ 6.0 (1)

In her earliest film, which has been newly transferred to video, Schneemann presents an abstracted portrait of the American composer Carl Ruggles, known for his irascible personality and finely-crafted atonal music. Ruggles is seen enjoying pie a la mode and ruminating on subjects ranging from Christmas to his incomplete opera The Sunken Bell. The hand-painted film stock heightens the impressionistic vitality of this snapshot of the 84-year-old composer, who is heard paraphrasing Freud: "Everything that you do is a matter of sex. That is the great passion of life."

Poster for Illinois Central Transposed

1969 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A compilation of Schneemann's anti-Vietnam War group performances, this work merges film projection, sound and slide systems, light beams, audience and performer action in a sensory collage linking the exposed Illinois landscape to the devastation in Vietnam. Writes Schneemann: "I think of this work as an exploded canvas, units of rapidly changing clusters. A flow of energy which makes an active audience inevitable and necessary — not to mimic the performance, but to absorb relations within the space and between one another — to be correspondent to the materials and imagery, grasping a conscious and realizable wish to replace the performers with themselves."

"One can visit a military ship in New York harbour. A diverse mass of people stream on to the ship and patiently queue for admittance to the gargantuan structure. Proud sailors take groups around, functioning as tour guides on board. The crowds revel in this Sunday treat, with the New York skyline in the background." —Milena Gierke

Poster for Safari

2007 · ★ 0.0 (0)

This wordless, hallucinatory nature documentary is not precisely natural, nor exactly a documentary. Following the travails of a cockroach through a studio-constructed tropical paradise, its extreme close-ups present a world in which bizarre plants and animals engage in a constant dance of eat and be eaten.
