  • Xcèntric: On the meaning of construction. Robert Beavers

    By on

    With the presence of the filmmaker. 

    For Robert Beavers, the camera is not a simple recording device; it has a very lively quality that surrounds the elements of filming. This session presents two films he made in the 1970s based on a 15th-century painting and the writings of John Ruskin. The construction of images and sounds in these works connects the present with the past and the past with the present in a continual toing and froing.
