Dear Gerald by Jasper Rigole
found footage / 2023 / Belgium / 11’13’’ The film “Dear Gerald” is conceived as a response to an online review of one of the home movies from Jasper Rigoles IICADOM archive. This archive is created by the filmmaker as an attempt to preserve orphaned films sourced from flea markets in and around Belgium. The film starts as a reflection on the medium of the home movie and the nature of the archive but slowly reveals problematic side effects of publishing private images. In that sense the film raises questions on authorship and consent in an online environment. Jasper Rigole (1980, Belgium) is a multimedia-artist who works on the border between film and media-arts. He graduated from the film department of the academy in Ghent (KASK) in 2004, and subsequently did a postgraduate in visual arts (HISK), and a PhD in audiovisual arts (KASK/Ugent). Next to his artistic practice, he currently is active as a professor and researcher at KASK. In his work, Rigole focusses on the re-use of existing footage to reflect on the closely related theme’s memory and the archive. |
16 One by Holden Treadway
16mm / 2022 / Usa / 2’ 5’’ A project started in 1964 and completed in 2022. Sourced from a 16mm home movie buried for 18 days, 16 One is an abstract artifact that constructs a space for the past and present to commune. Holden Treadway is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and educator. Through process-driven and interactive environments, Holden’s work explores natural and manufactured representations of decay and the role of impermanence in visual and auditory information. |

16mm / 2023 / Japan / 4’ 47’’ This camera-less silent film examines parts and wholes. Electronic components were photogrammed on 16mm print stock.
