Stills

For the London Art Book Fair at the Whitechapel Gallery 2014, the new printmaking project took cinema as its theme. The brief set by John McDowall was ‘to produce an editioned print in response to the title Stills. The single instant of a cinema film still, re-materialised from the intangible and ephemeral experience of viewing and recollection, participants’ prints might be based on production/publicity photos or a captured frame, or perhaps more intriguingly, their own memory of a film or of an imagined one’.

Sharon Kivland. Last Year: The garden and frozen figures with their shadows.

A single still, the famous scene of the garden and the frozen figures with their shadows, from L'année dernière à Marienbad, from which she erased the figures, leaving only the shadows of where they once may have been supposed to stand, last year.

The Stills suite of prints was also shown at Berliner Liste 2014, fair for contemporary art, 18 to 21 September 2014.
