New Zealand Video Art To Screen At Venice
New Zealand Video Art To Screen At Venice
Cold Clay, Emptiness... the latest work by New Zealand video artist SJ.Ramir has been selected to screen in the Orizzonti section of the 67th Venice International Film Festival.
La Biennale di Venezia - organisers of the festival, created the Orizzonti section in 2004 to examine “new trends in cinema” with particular attention to be paid to the work of directors who trained in “expressive sectors” other than cinema.
Cold Clay, Emptiness... is a continuum of Ramir’s previous works, exploring the connection between the physical, external landscape, and the landscape that resides within the mind.
‘Journey’s’ form a dominant motif in his works. Ramir’s latest video work is dramatised by the movement of an anonymous figure through a remote and desolate rural valley – examining the notion of metaphysical journeys that are made within.
The 67th Venice International Film Festival runs from the 1st till the 11th of September 2010. For further information visit: www.labiennale.org/en/cinema/
SJ.Ramir is represented in New Zealand by Orexart Gallery, Auckland. His video work is distributed throughout Europe by Lightcone.
