All Magic Sands

Like Ken Jacobs did before him with Perfect Film (1986), Lampert adopted a set of found film reels as his own, completed work, without any altering of the images. Only in the combination of the individual reels and unedited shots is there the hand of the artist.
For the installation version, Lampert presents a double projection of cycles broken down into approximately three-minute sections. These sections reflect the original nature of the 16mm production footage, which consists of around 20 uncut camera rolls. The idea is that the two screens are not in a fixed relationship, meaning that the footage is randomized and not always juxtaposed in the same way, so there is a chance element as to which images are being projected at the same time.
As the original film All Magic Sands was left unfinished, Lampert’s version leaves the piece incomplete and permanently in flux. Thu 24-Sun 3, 12:00-17:00, free admission, Sub Urban Video Lounge
