A century after the first film experiments, moving image is an inevitable part of our visual culture. We interact constantly with moving images on different screens: computers, mobile phones and game consoles. With the development of portable equipment and social networks on the Internet, the making, screening and distribution of film have become available to everyone. One could say that we have now reached the stage after film, a shift in technologies, maybe as decisive as the invention of film itself. A sad consequence of the invention of new technologies is that other techniques have to move to the graveyard of the outmoded and the obsolete. Those funerals also mean the burial of a certain vision.<\/p>\n

How those shifts, those births and deaths in the history of the moving image, influence and change art is the core in this spring\u2019s major exhibition project\u00a0A Trip to the Moon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0Persona\u00a0is also very much a film about cinema, about the materiality of film. That theme links to the main concept in my performance, where each of the 24 performers represents one frame of a moving image strip.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0– Ming Wong<\/span><\/p>\n

In the exhibition viewers are presented with contemporary artists who employ moving imagery as their tool to express the theme of the history and future of filmmaking. The fascination of the field of visual arts with film extends right back to the moment the film camera was invented. In order to delve into the debate that has always existed between these two art forms, we will be screening a selection of historical feature films and shorter video installations as footnotes in the exhibition. Video art often serves as a commentary on the role of film in society as a whole, as well as exploring the vast possibilities offered by the medium of film.<\/p>\n

The book A Trip to the Moon<\/em><\/a> was produced for the exhibition.<\/p>\n
