Gravity and Grace
Simone Weil woven into the tarot, the death of time breeds desire.
Cedric & Cindy
Two friends share conversations in the arboretum
This is Not Okay
Three vignettes of situations and experiences of the unpleasant and empathetic
Passages of Excess
Ethereal movement and its relation to the physical world. Mundane gestures, ideas and images generated over time
Optimum Continuum
An on-going barrage of blackness always in progress. Abrupt patterns, part of and as a whole.
Mum
A matriarchal experience.
Amir George is a filmmaker and curator who creates spiritual stories, juxtaposing sound and image with a non-linear perception. He creates fragmented vignettes that conjure the secret life of objects both found and collected. The characters that inhabit his stories tend to dwell outside of social norms and exist in the space between and in the process of becoming. Following up from his Better Made Progress collection of work presented in Denver in September 2017.
