Magasinet Walden and Filmform present Oleg Tcherny at Filmform

Born in Minsk, Belarus, Oleg Tcherny has been making films and videos since the 1990s. In his more recent work, influenced by Giorgio Agamben, he suspends the progression of images through a process of vertical editing. Usually shot in HD, his videos sound out the thickness of time, pushing the boundaries of visual, auditory, and conceptual abstraction. Tcherny has studied cinema in the editing room with Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet; he was an assistant to the filmmaker Daniel Schmid.

His films have been shown in a number of international festivals such as Locarno, Rotterdam, Viennale, and Biennale di Venezia.

The last pages of Susan Howe’s book Sorting Facts; or, Nineteen Ways of Looking at Marker bring us to Pawlovsko, near Moscow, where the kinopravda is shown without musical accompaniment: Refused mourning or melancholia, here is the camera, the film, the projector.

On a sunny afternoon, an elderly man is sitting in the shade of the trees of the Montmartre cemetery in Paris, on the edge of the tomb of the great actress Falconetti (1892-1946). She gained unforgettable recognition as Jeanne d’Arc in Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1928 silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc. Later, she took her life in Buenos Aires. Now the old man, Jean-Marie Straub, while playing with his walking stick, keeps her company. Until he is disturbed...

- Flashback Legion (2016, hd, color, sound, 18'00)
It occupies the left side of the narrow choir of the shabby little church which we had entered... "What is it here,"
I asked, "that has moved you most, the painter or the subject?"
"I suppose it's the subject. And you?"
"I'm afraid it's the painter."
From Traveling Companions by Henry James
