Ritual Reportage : GilbertandGrape

Ritual Reportage


Ritual Reportage

GilbertandGrape are (UK/N) performance duo Anne-Marte Eidseth Rygh and Helen Pritchard. Every second Thursday of the month a three minute film was sent to our blogg. People we met were given a list of rituals from which they choose one to perform and film.

What interests us about rituals is the opportunity for implicit multiple meanings, their 'ungrammaticalness' and a form of response to the nature of the web. By collecting the films over a three year period and screening them in relation to eachother We hope to create a sense of fictional continuity.

Mirage : Tony Rickaby

Mirage


Mirage

Mirage reflects on August 6th 1945, the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The first part represents an infant’s close-up view of things, with touchable objects, bright colours and nursery rhyme-type attempts at understanding a comfortable world. The second part is black and white; it represents the destruction of Hiroshima with photographs of the obliterated city and descriptions by survivors. Both views of that day are in a sense a mirage: one too limited to be real and the other too awful to be real.
