The Pursuit of Fidelity (a retrospective)

About

In conjunction with Stills' current exhibition; Alexander and Susan Maris, The Pursuit of Fidelity (a retrospective), Film Lounge presents a new series of short films exploring similar themes. Matt Hulse, Sine Die 1994 4 mins Alexander and Susan Maris, 13.08 2007 13 mins Rachel Reupke, Infrastructure 2002 14 mins Ben Rivers, I Know Where I'm Going 2009 29 mins Themes of doubling, journeys and myths appear throughout Alexander and Susan Maris' exhibition The Pursuit of Fidelity ( a retrospective). Much of their artistic practise revolves around the process of journey with time and repetition as key concerns. Therefore the ritual of the journey and the significance of the terrain connect each of the films in this programme. They attempt to discover meaning through encounters in specific locations, explorations of infrastructure in nature and performing ritual enactments within the landscape.
