In Person
From an improbably epic single-shot journey across the varied designs of a hotel’s carpets; through the shadows and surfaces of an abandoned trainyard, a contemporary bowling alley, and family photos; to mid-twentieth-century Kodachrome parades, Scott Stark traces, tracks, and transforms everyday surfaces with a variety of cinematic tools. “I see each film/video project as a ‘first film’ with its own cinematic language, one that the viewer learns and engages with as the piece unfolds. This language is shaped by the particular mechanics of each medium, in the same way verbal language is shaped by the mechanics of the human mouth. Thus each film charts the possibility of a pre-cinema experience, one that might have evolved had not narrative and commerce been cinema’s prevailing motivational forces” (Scott Stark).
