Under the banner of ‘film as film’, the absolute cinema of Greek-American Gregory J. Markopoulos (1928–1992) alternates between fixed sequence shots and autonomous photograms. His work is based on portraits of people and places, and partly on adaptations of Hellenic myths. His last epic work, Eniaios (1948–1990, approx. 80 hours), reassembles his earlier films in a new order, combining them with new ones shot for the occasion. Since 2004, the restored work has been screened every four years at Temenos, an open-air utopian projection space in Greece.

ends meet

The exhibition ends meet brings a new commissioned film of the same title together with a set of five camera-less photographic prints. Both depict cloud formations represented within an impossible object, simultaneously analog and digital, still and moving, and cite the private correspondence between Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz.

The Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món presents this temporary exhibition about Maya Deren and her works. Defined as a filmmaker, writer, poet, dancer and ethnologist/anthropologist (she travelled to Haiti between 1947 and 1955), Maya Deren is essentially one of the most important avant-garde filmmakers and a key figure in twentieth-century experimental cinema.
