you are invited to:
LUX SALON JEROME HILER: MOMENTS OF VISION
> Monday 8th November 2003, 7pm for 7.30pm start
>
> American filmmaker and stained-glass artist Jerome Hiler presents a very rare public screening of footage dating from the 1960s to the present. Though he has been shooting intermittently for four decades, this is only the fourth time his films have ever been shown in public. Hiler is currently travelling Europe with his friend Nathaniel Dorsky, who will be introducing screenings of his own work at the London Film Festival (31 October 2004) and Tate Modern (10 November 2004).
>
> "The film I am presenting is composed mainly from spontaneous renderings of ordinary life. My method was to work directly with the Bolex camera as a sort of transformation device rather than to dream up some sort of plan and execute that. The moments of vision in the film, be they insightful or mundane, are joined by moments of complete blackout. These blackouts, which are like the blinking of an inner eye, create discontinuity and flow at the same time.
>
> "My experience as an artist has shown me that the work produced has been like a mirror held up to myself rather than to nature. My memory of the day before yesterday is already spotty and I have no idea what the next hour will bring. I actually can see myself bumbling from event to event in my life thanks to the very effort I make to establish sense and order in my film. The film, then, is a reflection of that fabulous combination of brilliance in the moment and desperate hoping for the best as it steps forward into unknown territory." (Jerome Hiler)
