ARTIST´S FILM INTERNATIONAL

2020

Organized by: Whitechapel Gallery, London – Fundación Proa, Buenos Aires
May – September

Artists’ Film International is a collaborative project featuring film, video and animation from around the world.

Life can feel like the accumulation of words in a book as we record thoughts and experiences. What if we could reverse, pause or accelerate these in the same way that a book’s pages can be flipped back and forth? Janus was a two-faced god in Roman mythology: one face looking to the past and the other to the future. Janus was the god of doorways, beginnings and endings. In this series, the books’ pages behave like Janus, going from past to future of a text or vice versa. Jano is the attempt to revise the minimum portion of time that can be frozen in movement, through image.
