Gabriel Lester / Niessen & De Vries, published by Uitgeverij Boek |
|
Gabriel Lester is an artist and film maker. The films and
installations of Gabriel Lester work from the inside out. They aim to
provoke dramatic tension and direct the gaze inwardly as well as
outwardly. These works, which occupy both time and space, are made up
out of dramatic suggestions and are either implicitly narrative,
explicitly visual or both at once. The frequent use of cinematographic
devices, such as montage, sequences, cross-cuts and spatial edits,
provide a tension span or at times a storyline. Subjects, such as
psychology of space, constitution of memory, evocation of predicament,
magic thought, set-up and pay-off, and destiny, surface frequently in
his art works. 1:1:1 is a documentary series in print exploring reproduction and the rationale behind the works of artists and designers.
