Unconscious Archives #3
Tuesday 15th November , 20-22:30h
no.w.here
First Floor, 316-318 Bethnal Green Road, London E2 OAG
Presented by no.w.here and OtherFilm

Unconscious Archives is a bimonthly series which seeks to deepen the context between sound and dark, silence and light. Traversing noise core and vision spectacle, each UA brings together expanded cinema and sonic propositions from London and afar.

This UA features a very special live film performance by Dirk de Bruyn, screenings from Richard Tuohy, and sound performances from Londoners Tim Goldie and Mandlebrot.

1. Dirk De Bruyn - Australia
Retina reflux from Dirk de Bruyn’s extensive film catalogue from the last 30 odd years. De Bruyn selects 16mm hand stamped, bitten, scratched and scathed films for reformat and regeneration in his multi projector, shadowy torchlight expanded cinema + concrete noise performances.

"My hand-drawn direct work remains my regurgitated creative life-blood, continually re-inscribed with the follies and hesitations of my everyday life. It speaks to me of things I have never said. It survives viscerally outside the outside. It impacts my body before thought floods in."

2. Richard Tuohy - Australia - Nanolab
Artist filmmakers Richard Tuohy and Diane Barrie run Nanolab, a simply incredible super 8 hand processing and telecine lab in Victoria, Australia. Richard presents some rarely seen films which explode the chemical, physical and metabolic processes that define the film laboratory.

- Etienne’s Hand (16mm; B/W; 13 minutes; Sound; 2011)
A movement study of a restless hand. Made from one five second shot. Sound constructed from an old French folk tune played on a hand cranked music box.

- Screen tone (3 x 16mm projectors; B/W; 10 minutes; Sound; 2011)
Half-tone dot ‘screens’ intended for use as shadings and tones in Manga comic illustrations have here been ‘photogrammed’ directly onto raw 16mm film stock.  A flicker collage of these dots has then been created using a 16mm film printer.  The sounds heard are those that the dots themselves produce as they pass the optical sound head of the 16mm projector.  This is a camera-less and sound-recorder-less film!

no.w.here and Takahiko Iimura present: How To Make Time Visible In Film
Wednesday October 6th, 19-22h
no.w.here, First Floor
316 - 318 Bethnal Green Road, London, E2 OAG

Takahiko Iimura has been a pioneer Japanese artist of experimental film and video since 1960. Residing in both Tokyo and New York, Iimura has had numerous exhibitions in Japan, the US, and Europe. One of his early films, ONAN, was awarded Special Prize at the legendary Brussels International Experimental Festival. Recently, he has been working with computers, publishing multimedia CD-ROMs and DVDs of his films, videos, graphics, texts, as well as photographic works. Perhaps the most enigmatic figure in avant-garde cinema/video, Takahiko Iimura mediates Zen spirituality and technology with playful irony.

For this unique workshop to be held at no.w.here, Iimura will be exploring how participants can make time visible in film, (without photography), using markers of different colors and sizes, long and fat needles, clear and black 16mm film. The workshop will include screenings of original Iimura prints sourced from the Lux, (to whom our thanks are due), including;

- 24 Frames Per Second 1975
- One Frame Duration 1977
- 2 Min. 46 Sec. 16 Frames (100 Feet) 1972
- Timed 1, 2, 3 1972
- (Timing 1,2,3,4 1972)
- (Timelength 1,2,3,4 1972)
