Gregory J. Markopoulos - Film as Film, Archive as Creation

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 26/05/2025 - 05:54

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.

“A powerful mood piece, it uses only the light and color emanating from the enclosed surroundings and selected objects… It evokes, without the presence of a single ‘living’ being, the reality of a life or lives, passing yet present, persistent, like a fragrance,reverberating with continued expectation. “ Kirk Winslow

“There is no language. There is no art. There is no knowledge. There is but film as film: the beginning and the eternal moment.” – Gregory J. Markopoulos

“In poetry, something else happens. Hard to say what it is. Presence, let’s say, soul or spirit, an empathy with whatever it is that’s dwelt upon, feeling for it – to the point of identification". – Margaret Tait

Xcèntric: Flores de asfalto

By Marcos Ortega on Vie, 17/02/2023 - 04:33

Los protagonistas de estas películas-trance, soñadores y visionarios, inician sus búsquedas eróticas mientras atraviesan diferentes estados mentales y anímicos. Mediante símbolos o metáforas visuales, narraciones elípticas y diferentes estrategias de montaje, Markopoulos aborda los temas de la revelación de la identidad sexual (Flowers of Asphalt), el rechazo del rol heterosexual masculino (Swain) o el deseo sexual no consumado (The Mysteries).

NOTHINGTOSEENESS: All or Nothing

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 30/11/2021 - 06:20

“You cannot apply the principles of painting to a medium that is not painting.” (Paul Sharits).

Film has laws of its own, but along with the other arts in the period around 1960 it searched for certain “zero points” that didn't revolve around nothing, but the whole. This three-part film programme, curated by Alexander Horwath and Regina Schlagnitweit, includes works from the period between 1958 and 2021 – by Stephanie Barber, Yves-André Delubac, Hollis Frampton, Jorge Lorenzo, Ernst Schmidt Jr., Aldo Tambellini, Joyce Wieland and many more. It also offers rare insight into Gregory Markopoulos’s cinematic life’s work ENIAIOS (1947–91), presented by the film artist Robert Beavers.

“The gatekeepers exist to be overthrown.” - Amos Vogel, Repeats and Responses

“The most important question – Where is the experimental film movement? – is the one which I wish someone could answer for me”, wrote Maya Deren in August 1946 to the filmmaker Frank Stauffacher who was preparing a program for the San Francisco Museum of Art called “Art in Cinema”. Deren, who was 29 at the time, was a reference because in 1943 she had already started showing the experimental films she made with Alexander Hammid to a select audience.
