NEW CONSTELLATIONS is a special presentation of three short films by Takashi Makino, a Tokyo-based experimental filmmaker widely considered to be one of the most influential Japanese moving-image artists of his generation. The presentation will include ANTI-COSMOS, CONSTELLATION and the world premiere of his latest piece, IMAGINATION. Live sound for CONSTELLATION will be provided by Liz Harris.
“What I have done in my practice of extreme abstract expression so far has always been to produce films as devices for stimulating and amplifying the viewer’s powers of imagination, and to show these films around the world.” - Takashi Makino
Makino’s films incorporate layers upon layers of sound, image, and light to create densely-textured, hypnotic works. He has described his own work as a “creative collaboration with filmmaker and audience,” the sheer experience of it “giving birth to a new cosmos… an act of true creativity.” Liz Harris is an artist working out of the Pacific Northwest. She releases music and art editions on her imprint YELLOWELECTRIC, and kranky records, and records/produces under the names Grouper, Nivhek, Raum, Helen and Mirrorring.
This program is a co-presentation with Cinema Project.
