Two films from the Jerwood/FVU Awards back catalogue screen at Videoclub as part of Art Kaohsiung. Patrick Hough's 2017 work And If In A Thousand Years and Karen Kramer's The Eye that Articulates Belongs on Land, from 2016, screen alongside previous films made by each artist.
Filmed in locations across the globe, from California to Japan, the works address some of the constructs through which we see the world - notably time. In Patrick Hough's films, a script writer’s vision is repeated in an endless loop on an abandoned film set, and buried props awaken from beneath the desert sands. Karen Kramer's work juxtaposes natural and man-made disasters, and takes us to the ocean where the future of a species over 450 million years old hangs on a human intervention.
