Gravity- Malcom Le Grice

Very interesting man, likes to talk alot, I have the feeling he could have gone on all night about his work and it was really nice to see that he enjoyed talking about his work. According to Le Grice he is very anti-narative against cinematic viewing of video art. When he makes a film he never starts with a theory, always the materiality of the object. He became interested in the faults of cinema and its imperfections of home videos. His most famous work is the Berlin Horse, which is is a combination of nedative and colour slides with sound track on a double projection. the sound track is quite unusual but after a while can become quite annooying as it is played on a loop. Loops being what Le Grice was experimenting with at the time. Because Le Grice doesn't use narative in his videos some of them come across quite weird and bizar, he does this because he believes his interpretations shouldn't guide our interpretations. I enjoyed most of it, although towards the end it was going on for a bit too long.
