Soar
synopsis
A digital miniature in which the form into which the image is deconstructed emphasizes the things we leave in our wake – trajectories of movement, actions, decisions, gestures. This guide of the traces we leave behind dissolves into a depiction of the things that remain; the simple visual approach raises the imperative of understanding the consequences of the movements of mind, body, and things.
"Choreography of an imaginary journey Color / 7 minutes 40" P. Bokanowski
biography
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.
