Takahiko Iimura: On Time in Film

Discussion & Screenings

This event has already taken place and ended on 13 Oct 2010

"To review all of Iimura's work is an important occasion for all who are concerned with the development and pleasures of cinema as an art." Jonas Mekas

We are delighted to welcome Takahiko Iimura, an international artist and experimental filmmaker who has been working with time-based media since the 1960s. Much of his work has sought to disrupt the ways we view film and video, often by paring it down to its essential, frame by frame elements to reveal its construction as much as its content. This special event will feature conversation around his practice and career and screenings of a selection of his film works.

"In concentrating on this set of problems, often wrongly seen as 'minimalist', Iimura went much, much further than any other film artist in exploring a kind of art-science. This concern with the experience of time, its measured passage and the analogy between time and space, has been the main recurring theme at the centre of his work." Malcolm Le Grice

Old Media Season: Time Crisis
Time Crisis investigates the relationships between technology, repetition and time, examining practices within music and the moving image which, through sampling, reappropriation, use of old technologies and media-archaeology, enact a folding of the past into the present.
