Description
“The projection Cine-Scope is a looped animation in which a piece of celluloid is penetrated on a quasi-microscopic level, so that the scratches and dust on the film come to resemble a forest, brushing by the viewer. This work speaks to the trance-like state that may occur with the prolonged viewing of an uneventful film (such as Andy Warhol’s Empire), where texture comes to replace a lack of any real narrative content.” – Chris Sharp
About the director: Alexander Gutke was born in 1971 in Gothenburg, Sweden. He works within the conceptual and minimalist tradition, using analogue apparatuses such as cameras, film and slide projectors to create a visual illusionism and a poetic and mystical materialism.
