  • Anarchic Visions of Everyday: Women's Cinematic Experiments in the 1990s

    By on

    The mid to late-1980s and the early 1990s saw a surge of active involvement by women filmmakers in the Japanese experimental film scene, bringing them into a field that had previously been almost exclusively male. With the increased accessibility of affordable film equipment, growing film school attendance, and the establishment of film festivals such as Image Forum and Pia Film Festival, more women began to direct and produce their own films, especially within the flourishing independent filmmaking scene.

  • Xcèntric - Maria Klonaris / Katerina Thomadaki: film portraits

    By on

    Parallel to their unique cinematographic self-portraits, Maria Klonaris and Katerina Thomadaki launched their Série Portraits in the early 1980s, in which they reinvented the art of film portraiture by composing images of women who don't represent any preconceived idea of "femininity" and by engaging in an ethical reflection of woman as subject in a dialogue that tests the boundaries between Self and Other.

  • DIM Cinema: Make Me Up

    By on

    In her most ambitious work to date, the incomparable Scottish multimedia artist Rachel Maclean “takes a cyber cleaver to art history," a weapon made no less dangerous by its pink and purple glitter-coated handle. Siri, the protagonist, “finds herself at the centre of what appears to be an impossible game show, helmed by the Figurehead, an ornately dressed Maclean lip-syncing to Kenneth Clark’s [classic 1960s BBC TV series] Civilisation.

  • All that Remains: Archeology and the Image

    By on

    Inscribed about artifacts are traces of human activity: gestures, gazes, textures, abrasions. These are the material and figurative qualities which produce historical potentiality. Functioning like spolia, remnant structural fragments used to erect new stone walls, they act as analytical units through which narrative is assembled, eroded and re-constructed.
