Pratt Institute's Department of Film/Video and Photography will present a solo show of two bodies of work by artist Fred Camper titled 'Figments,' that feature digitally altered images of increasingly low resolutions based on original single photographs. The exhibition runs from September 10 through October 9 in Room 311 of the Juliana Curran Terian Design Center on the Brooklyn Campus and is free and open to the public.
Camper's body of work, titled 'Figments,' is based on original single photographs that have been digitally converted into dozens of lower resolution images that are combined, juxtaposed side-by-side, and superimposed. Small portions of images are also excerpted and enlarged from a sampling of the superimposed images to create abstract, dreamy compositions. The exhibition also will feature a collection of work, titled 'Venues 1: Terian Center,' based on over 100 moderately cropped and modified photographs Camper made while walking around and into Pratt's Juliana Curran Terian Design Center.
'One goal of the exhibition is to create a feeling that the inner machinery of the digital image is exposed, its various parts seeming to grind against each other,' said Camper. 'Another is to try to present all these versions of an image, from the original to its reduction to a single solid color, as equally authentic, equally beautiful, and equally true,' he added.
Camper was already an accomplished experimental filmmaker when he began completing digital prints in early 2005. He began exhibiting his art two years ago and has had solo exhibitions in Los Angeles and his home city of Chicago. In addition to filmmaking, Camper has written extensively on art and cinema; his articles have been published in books and periodicals including ARTnews, Film Culture, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Reader, and ArtForum. He also has lectured on and curated showings of avant-garde films throughout the world.

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...

«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
