Perforated Realities

North American Premiere

As identification with the self slowly dissolves, the borders between beings evaporate and the environment disintegrates. This mirrored photo performance, which could also be considered a kind of reverse-engineered stop-motion, takes frames away rather than adding them, forming a myriad of sentient beings.

MODES 3

Whimsical, questioning and utterly absorbing, a collection of animated work delving into worlds of wonder, subversion, and Marxist mystery. These works are fun and some re-construct ideas of animation, paying homage to experimentalists who came before.

Gustaf Broms

Gustaf Broms started off working in photography and installation, but two works led him to the more formless processes of performance. In 1991, Broms burned all of his work, and in doing so realized that the intensity of the action and the remaining ash far outdid anything he had previously made. In 2005, he worked with objects that were physically too heavy for the body to move. These experiences led to the project entitled A Walking Piece, in which he and Trish Littler spent 18 months walking across Eastern Europe. The result is considered a drawing.
