This conception of cinematic duration and
its rich potential for virtual mnemosis are critical touchstones between the
film and video works of Artists, Polly Stanton, Darn Thorn and Matthew Stanton.
Whilst acknowledging Tarkovsky’s conception of “time pressure’ to be bound in
part to a subjectivity borne of post-war European modernism, each artist
knowingly embraces the principle as an opportunity of inquiry into the
relationship between topologies of space and duration along with the processes
of imprinting, transmission and translation of the ‘time image’ as a proxy for
shared and individual memory.
Polly will be projecting digitally, Matthew
will be projecting 16mm film and Darn is making an installation that replicates
a student flat, and playing his 16mm
film on a TV via a VHS player.
