About Movie

Constellations, a recent grouping of 16mm colour silent blow-ups by Super 8 artist Helga Fanderl, returns us to the natural world, whose beauty has been observed and rendered with a profound curiosity, a patient gaze and an extraordinary ability to capture visual patterns and textures. Whether following at close range the semi-circular motion of a handsome, pacing leopard, its spots evoking rhythmic patterns through Fanderl's intuitive shooting process, or closely studying a tray of glassware on a ship as the sea reflects and refracts through the crystalline shapes, the artist fully gives herself over to the present moment and allows us to bask in it. This iteration contains the following films (in order): Blätter fliegen (2001) Gasometer I (2010) New Hope I (1992) Aquarium (2009) Geburtstagsfeier (2004) Feuerturm (2009) Leopard (2012) Laub (2010) Rost (2010) Container (2011) Gläser (2011) Gelbe Blätter (2011) Große Wasser (2012)
