Dialogues I: Robert Fenz
Part of Nexus
The Carriageworks: Studio
8 November • 7.30pm
Trained as both a filmmaker and musician, American artist Robert Fenz makes rich and poetic portraits of people and places. Fenz is a master of cinematography capturing the world as though through the eyes of an anonymous observer, elevating the audience from the world, just enough to reveal what's hidden. He has traveled to Brazil, Cuba, Poland, Turkey and India to make his films and is currently completing a new portrait of acclaimed ethnographic filmmaker Robert Gardner, which will be screened as a work in progress. Including works by two of America's most acclaimed avant-garde filmmakers, Peter Hutton and James Benning, the works in this programme transform natural and urban landscapes into contemplative cinematic vistas.
