Guess who is coming to town - May 6th and 7th- the quai bros- who has been greatly influenced by the Czech animator who I recommended to you previously as well as a bunch of central European artists and writers.  I truly believe that your sensibilities match!

You can see this film on Monday April 27th at the Coolidge Corner movie theatre

The first live action feature from the Quay Brothers, INSTITUTE BENJAMENTA is inspired by the writings of Swiss novelist Robert Walser. The film focuses on the monotonous repetition of activity the inhabitants of the Benjamenta Institute for the Training of Domestic Servants face on a daily basis. The Quay's continue to explore their motifs of death, decay and nothingness, with live actors added to their collage of objects.

my artist statement

heyy, here is my artist statement. any feedback about which parts work and don't would be great. thanks

I am making pictures about a desire for authentic experience. I am reacting to an increasingly artificial and manufactured world. I desire to transcend the simulated to experience something more “real”.

Yet, in the hyper reality that we live in where illusion has replaced reality, it seems nearly impossible to escape simulation. It leads me to question if it matters if an experience is simulated? It is a real experience of a simulation. In my exploration, it leaves me to reconcile simulation and the illusion of reality.

I think a sense of heightened experience is subjective. Personally, the authentic experience involves returning to a true and original state of existence with nature. I mourn the loss of oneness with nature that humankind once valued. I yearn for the physicality and tactility of the natural.

In my photographs I want to hint at a simulation or manufacture yet suggest the potential for genuine experience
