Factory Media Centre and Dandelion Film Collective are excited to present: IMMANENT UNION by Kyle Whitehead at The Staircase on Saturday September 17 at 7pm.
The Staircase is located at 27 Dundurn St N, Hamilton, ON L8R 3C9. This event is free, all are welcome to attend.
This Super 8 film on two reels is a retrograde attempt at resolving a personal archive and index, confronting the inexorable passage of time into memory, memory into echo and echo into resonance. IMMANENT UNION was spliced together live over the course of six performances in Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada – these Drafts for a Scenario facilitating an aleatory approach to the global composition of disparate memories, fleeting images of recorded time that have no story to tell. Performative in essence – where sound is modulated live by the projected light itself – this mystical union justifies an immanent plane as an act of pastoral simplicity. A divine presence.
Kyle Whitehead is Canadian artist who works with material film to create experimental and expanded cinema projects. His handmade films, moving image installations and projection performances trade in material self-consciousness, the artists labours and elastic treatments of space, light and time. These works in film have exhibited internationally in numerous festivals, galleries and museums including the Museo Tamayo (Mexico City, Mexico), Alchemy Film and Arts (Hawick, Scotland), the San Francisco Cinematheque (SF, USA) the Canadian Film Institute’s Café EX (Ottawa, Canada), and TRUCK Contemporary Art (Calgary, Canada).
This program is presented in partnership between Dandelion Film Collective and Factory Media Centre:
Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Dandelion Film Collective is a loose consolidation of artists committed to working with analog film as a medium of expression and a format for exhibition.
