Images are in motion. As their nature keeps evolving, the metamorphosis of the imaginary is subject to constant acceleration. Where are images headed? And, more importantly, how are they changing? Over the last twenty years, the dialogue between art and cinema, film and moving images, black box and white cube, has been one of the most exciting and innovative areas of study generating a wide range of exhibitions, festivals, academic research, publications, and symposia. Yet, in spite of thriving discourses and practices centred on the moving image and film, large-scale exhibitions and festivals, save for a few exceptions, fail to experiment with formats and venues. In this lecture, Andrea Lissoni will reflect on his own display strategies for time-based works arguing that artists’ films and moving images are “modern classics.”
