Kyle Whitehead

2021

Kyle Whitehead (Canada) is Canadian artist who works primarily with small-format film to create experimental and expanded cinema projects. He prefers a careful and considered approach to image making. This should not be confused with best practices, however, as his work is more about embracing the potential of indeterminate process. What he wants is the definitive by chance, leveraging trailing-edge technologies often with unusual or startling effect.

Фильмы

Vapor

Kyle Whitehead

Vapor is an insubstantial film - diffused matter suspended in air - a cinematic dew point where time and space are distorted and compressed. Pinhole images coalesce into something recognizable and just as quickly fade into the mist of emulsion from which they came.

Interstices Volume III

Kyle Whitehead

"Interstices is an ongoing series of 'exquisite corpse' films with the potential to continue indefinitely. The films are all in-camera double exposures each made on a 15 metre reel of Super 8 film in collaboration with another artist or filmmaker; the second exposure is made with no prior knowledge of the first, resulting in vignettes that are aleatoric collisions of two discrete perspectives. Unstable and intransitive by nature, these resonant and dissonant image-sentences continuously ebb and flow in and around each other, vying for presence on screen and in the minds-eye." (the8fest)

Membrana Mortis (Dead Film)

Kyle Whitehead

Membrana Mortis is a meta-film, a chaotic assemblage of re-photographed and chemically manipulated image fragments culled from a damaged roll of film that was nearly un-projectable. The films title suggests a two-fold intention - here process and existence pre-suppose one another, at once an elegy to a dead film and observance of new genesis.
