Forms Are Not Self-Subsistent Substances
Samantha Rebello, 2010, UK, 16mm, 22'
Filmmaker and musician Samantha Rebello continues her research into the tensions between sound and image, mental and material, camera and object, film and meaning, in this unsettling fresco of tactile close-ups and indefinable timbres. “Words, concepts, things. Referencing Aristotle and manuscripts, Rebello asks ‘What is substance?’ Romanesque stone carvings are measured against latter-day beasts, seeking parity between medieval perception and a present-day embodiment.” (Mark Webber)
