-
Come Out
by Narcisa Hirsch, 1971, 10'
"An out of focus image slowly comes into focus and zooms out while a sentence skips on a record until it becomes indistinctive and disappears. The words are from Daniel Hamm’s voice, one of the boys involved in the Harlem Six, from a recording by composer Steve Reich in 1966 also titled 'Come out'." (Jessica Sarah Rinland)
Expression of the Sightless
by Jessica Sarah Rinland, 2016, 7'
A blind man’s inquisitive hands explore the surface of a sculpture, translating vision into touch.
Taller / Workshop
by Narcisa Hirsch, 1975, 11'
"Narcisa Hirsch’s voice pans in a circular motion across her studio inviting us to imagine its details, all the while our gaze lies fixed on one wall. Narcisa made Workshop as a response to reading Andrée Hayum’s Film Culture review of Michael Snow’s A Casing Shelved (1970), a film which she had not seen." (Jessica Sarah Rinland)
Ý Berá – Bright Waters
by Jessica Sarah Rinland, 2016, 10'
Spanning different moments in human history, the film reflects on the Iberá wetlands in Argentina—the second largest in the world—through accounts of the organisms that inhabit this shifting ecosystem.
Potrero
by Narcisa Hirsch, 1973, 9'
"Over the course of one year, Narcisa Hirsch left a super 8 camera on a tripod in a paddock near her house in the Patagonia. When she was away, she gave instructions to activate the camera to a local farmer who looked after cows in the area." (Jessica Sarah Rinland)
Black Pond
by Jessica Sarah Rinland, 2018, 42'
Black Pond explores a common land in the south of England, once occupied by the 17th-century agrarian collective known as the Diggers. Today, it is used by a Natural History Society engaged in activities such as bat and moth trapping, mycology, tree measurement, and botanical walks. After two years of filming, Rinland shared the footage with the group, recording their reflections and memories, which form part of the film’s narration. Rather than offering a comprehensive history, the film traces a more intimate relationship between humans, land, and the ecosystems they inhabit.
