Part cinematic manifesto, part invoked sorcery, SOLARES serves as volcanic manifestation of what viewing, inhabiting, and reflecting images is in our existence. Meant to accompany their masterpiece The Sun Quartet, SOLARES stands as a beautiful testament to the power of poetry and its relationship to cinema and life

Barbara Hammer is an American feminist artist known as a pioneer of queer experimental and documentary film. In concert with an exhibition of her work at the Leslie Homan Museum of Gay & Lesbian Art, this volume seeks to celebrate the depth and expanse of Hammer’s five decades of art making.

With numerous images, texts and a catalogue raisonné, this book gives insight into the aesthetic specificity and complexity of Helga Fanderl’s Super 8 work, conveying its origins and development, process and materiality, and form and poetic nature. Her films, varying programmes and site-specific projections evoke the permanence of the impermanent. Constellations of the artist’s short texts, as well as those of different authors and of film images, photographs and documents represent and reflect the many facets of her work.

Experimental Cinema, The Film Reader brings together key writings on American avant-garde cinema to explore the long tradition of underground filmmaking from its origins in the 1920s to the work of contemporary film and video artists.
