Patrick Bokanowski

Patrick Bokanowski (1943) tears down our assumptions regarding the essence of the cinematic medium. His visual experimentation with contrasts, compositions, rhythm, and perspective inexorably shatters documentary’s lens of supposed objectivity and attacks the reliability of the viewer’s senses. His experiments take on the form of a sensory amusement park that grinds down the bizarreness of everyday reality and offers the viewer an uplifting, intimate experience.
