On Friday September 27, I will be curating a screening of local film, animation and moving image art as part of The Columbus Moving Image Art Review, also known as CMIAR. The screening will take place in Hagerty Hall 180 on OSU Campus at 8PM. Admission is free and light refreshment swill be provided. For more information about the screening visit the CMIAR Website. At this screening I will be debuting a new part of my moving image poetic work exploring landscapes. This pieces is a companion piece to my City Lights work which can been seen on my Research page.
Rural Colors
Rural Colors is a series of short poetic experimental films that documents the natural landscapes of the world around us. This film explores the eastern border of Ohio and the river that runs between Wheeling, West Virginia and Martins Ferry, Ohio. Using a single tracking shot layered upon itself and timed to music the scenery becomes a kaleidoscopic cornucopia of color that provides an abstraction of the landscape original documented changing it into an aesthetic experience void of the details that influence our interpretation of such landscapes.
Here are a few stills.
This looks like a really cool project. Good luck with the screening!
