Lee Krist – Artist in Residence 2004 and Artist Talk

In today’s transforming landscape of motion picture film Lee Krist’s a cinematic artist committed to hedonistically indulging in the vast tapestry of photographic emulsion. For the past eight years Krist has created experimental films that specialize in hand processing techniques. Currently he is an artist in residence at LIFT, where he has been giving workshops in experimental animation, rotoscoping and reversal hand processing. Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 7:00pm

Lee will be showing completed films and works-in-progress, including a preview glimpse of his film installation, Tableaux Vivant. The installation will be in LIFT’s mezzanine.

Films to be screened: August 1997, Greenpoint, NY. 1998, 16 mm, B&W, 8 minutes. This hand-processed film is a wistful meditation upon the obsolescence of the urban industrial landscape; their decaying and antiquated features are captured with faltering grains of silver nitrate and straying electrolytes. Tableaux Vivant. (W.I.P.). Color, 300 ft.

A series of portraits and vignettes shot in Oregon, with a variety of still cameras this body of work attempts to reunite motion picture film and photography long lost companions that were separated at birth. Two Films from The Big Film Series A collection of 35 mm hand processed film portraits, shot and projected using an early motion picture hand cranked camera and projector. 1083. 2003. Color, 80 ft. A Self-Portrait of me in my home sweet home. Huh. 2000. 35 mm, hand painted color, 80 ft. A portrait of a professional model, this film just barely makes it into the moving picture category.
