• Scene Shifts in Six Movements (2011) at Hilary Crisp Gallery

  Art

  18 Jan 2012 to 18 Feb 2012

  Words create and shape our impressions and histories. ‘Scene Shifts in six movements’ (2011) is a fragmentary film, portraying different locations and time periods. The piece begins with a film set representing a generic European urban architecture from the late 19th century. An image of cold war Paris is drawn through texts written by Ivorian Bernard Dadié. Images selected by the artist gain new meanings through narration and music created by others. Like Ruscica’s previous work, ‘Travelogue’ (2010), ‘Scene Shifts in six movements’ is fundamentally concerned with portrayals of place, and the different media used to create the imagery and their historical layers. Ruscica's works reveal or essentially strip images of their meanings, and at the same time are assigned new meanings through a layered use of source \nmaterials.
