THIS WEEK IN THE PELORUS TRUST MEDIAGALLERY
THE WORLD OF INTERIORS
an exhibition by Nova Paul
opening celebration Thursday 22 May 5.30pm
Dear Friends,
You are invited to attend the opening of The World of Interiors, an
exhibition by Nova Paul opening this Thursday 22 May at 5.30pm. Nova
Paul will be at the opening and also in attendance for an artist talk
Friday 23 May at 12.15pm.
Filmed in red, green and blue layers the filmic surface of The World
of Interiors is composed of buzzing shards of colour influenced by
the aspirations and optimism of the 1910s Russian Avant-Garde
movement Rayonism. Accompanying the abstract film (originated on
16mm) are oral recordings made with friend Forbes Williams.
Williams lives in Dunedin where his house is home to a collection of
keepsakes from his wanderings around the city; bits of plastic,
bottle tops, ribbons, soft toys, lost notes, hair ties, dried flowers
and other objects are carefully arranged throughout his house. On the
soundtrack Williams shares some of his experiences ranging across
subjects as diverse as metaphysics, the health care system,
relationships, mental wellbeing, literature, dance parties and his
process of collecting ephemera.
Nova Paul says she is particularly interested in "stories that allow
us to see valid and thoughtful ways of existing in the world.” Her
film making practice stems from an engagement with experimental and
structural filmmaking, such as Stan Brakhage and Michael Snow. The
technicolor technique used in The World of Interiors is similar to
early colour processes used by experimental filmmakers such as Len
Lye, Oskar Fischinger and Australians Arthur and Corinne Cantrill.
Nova will be at the Film Archive on 5 June to introduce a number of
films from the Film Archive’s collection including works by the
Cantrills, Lye and herself.
