DENISE HAWRYSIO






Recent video work Gaps in the Persistent Hiss, with sound by Malvern Brume, will premiere as part of Experiments in Cinema: A Celebration of International Cinematic Experimentation.  

The film festival, based in New Mexico, is online from May 1-22 at www.experimentsincinema.org. Gaps… is in Programme 12.

Gaps in the Persistent Hiss is a journey through a landscape, both sonically and visually. Through the combination of experimental music and a hand-held telescopic lens, this video presents a radically discontinuous, almost hallucinogenic experience, gradually revealing a primordial dimension to the world. It squeezes the visible through the material funnel of the lens, unfolding it on the other side to reveal a new perspective.

Experiments in Cinema, recently featured in the Millennium Film Journal and Senses of Cinema magazine, was voted one of the top 10 experimental film festivals in the world.

Showing support for Ukraine, John Wynne and Denise Hawrysio latest art installation, “and quiet that splinters the winter”, was exhibited at At Home Gallery – a former synagogue built by the Slovak Jewish community in the early 20th century – in Samorin, Slovakia in the fall of 2023.

The devastating effects of this war on nature are catastrophic and mirror the simultaneous human tragedies and physical destruction wrought by the pointless aggression. As Yevheniia Zasiadko from Ecoaction, a Ukrainian environmental group says, “War affects our nature just as badly as our people and our infrastructure. However, this damage remains unseen and mostly ignored, for the environment is the silent victim.”

Using sound and projected images, the artists use the forest as both a literal and metaphorical representation of the effects of war, while a set of Hawrysio’s collages brings the focus more specifically on the current conflict.
