Are You Clean
Combined programme
|
IFFR 2006
Curated by Mike Hoolboom Are you clean? When I hear these words in this order, it makes me want to talk again: for now, it’s enough to lie back and let them flow all over the viewer. And when these artists are not conjuring meta-anthropologies (all of this is documentary based, but strained through the first person and above all beautiful, it’s so damn beautiful to see), they are busy looking. Making a place to look from. Finding the distance, gauging the distance where the refusal of pictures (which is the hallmark of most movies, which are content to deliver pixels, or place holders, figments from the image plane, but which never arrive at a single picture), is at last swept away.
