about the artists:
Katrín Ólafsdóttir’s background is dance and choreography and she started making Super 8 films as a teenager. She has directed and produced several short films and documentaries and is currently in post production of her first feature film The Wind Blew On, made religiously with a home made formula of Mutual Aid. Along with Bertrand Mandico she is founder of the film collective International/Incohérence. Katrin also does photographic work, video performances and installations. She and collaborator Steinunn Gunnlaugsdóttir have been in the habit of taking over abandoned spaces and perform symbolic attacks. Katrin has exhibited in museums and galleries and done installations in abandoned man made structures
Takashi Makino born in Tokyo in 1978. Makino began making films in 1997. In 2001, after graduating from the Cinema Department of Nihon University College of Art, where he majored in Cinematography, he went to London alone to study under the Quay Brothers. He mainly studied film music and lighting. Makino continued to make films after returning to Japan and has held solo screenings regularly since 2004. He met Jim OfRourke in 2005, which accelerated his film making pace. His film, No is E won the Terayama Shuji Prize at the Image Forum Festival 2007. Makino was prominently featured at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2008, where Elements of Nothing was nominated for the Tiger Award. Since then, as Japanfs leading experimental film artist, his films have been invited for screenings at more than 30 international film festivals and video art festivals. His installation using 35mm film and HD was exhibited at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. In 2009, still in cosmos won the Grand-Prix at the 25FPS International Experimental Film & Video Festival 2009. His first medium-length film, The World, was premiered at a late show at the Kichijoji Baus Theatre in Tokyo, marking the new dawn of experimental films.
Rikke Benborg is a film and video artist, living and working in Copenhagen. Educated from The Royal Danish Academy of fine art (MA visual arts), and from Middlesex University in London (BA hons fine art).
My works often attempt to explore the illogic of dreams and the unconscious. I prefer surreal fragmented narratives as oppose to traditional cinematic storytelling. Film for me becomes a tool for exploring the logic and the poetics of the image. I often include elements of animation in my work. Animation, with it's ability to make the inanimate come alive, and make the hidden apparent, almost have an alchemistic quality and thus it encompasses everything magic, oscure and un?
That quality attracts me.
I am similarly seduced by everything theatrical: the gestures and melancholy of early silent film, in particular, and all sorts of work that deals with unrealistic aesthetics, masks and dressing up in weird costumes.
I often work in a formal, minimal language, but strangely I feel informed by all the opposites. |
