"Untitled", Sandra Gibson / Luis Recoder, USA, 2008, live performance with 2 16mm projectors, 0:40:00, sound Olívia Block
A minimalist monochromatic film frame is projected through a glass pane fogged via a humidification system. The planular drift of the projected frame alters its course, bending here, diffracting there – keystoning its way through the darkness of a cinematic abyss. In their collaborative film performances, Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder employ simple mechanical means to hypnotically elaborate ends. 16mm loops, spray bottles, colored gels, unfocused lenses and hand-shadows combine, through rehearsed recipes, into slowly mutating light-sculptures: morphing color-fields, angel-white auras, fusing penumbrae, pulsing vertical lines. Built upon occulted rhythms of film projection, their work retains a personal, human scale, even as the viewer succumbs to its transportive powers. Their performances melt the projector’s machine materialism into ethereal experiences. The performance "Untitled" was presented at 16º Curtas Vila do Conde - International Film Festival, Sala Dois/ Manco d'Areia, tuesday, 8 July, 10 p.m.
