Nicolas Provost Retrospective
SAT 26.04 - SUN 01.06.08OPENING ON FRI 25.04.08, 7.00PM
WITH TALK SHOW I.C.W. BINGER FILMLAB
On Friday April 25 the exhibition will have its festive opening at 7 pm, hosted by the Binger Filmlab and De Brakke Grond, during which Nicolas Provost will explain his work. In 2006, he participated in the Script Development Programme at the Binger Filmlab with his first feature film The Invader.
In this retrospective, visual artist Nicolas Provost demonstrates that the cinematographic triad of time, shape and sound harbours a mystery that has no plot and actually does not need one. For instance, in Plot Point, a film lasting fifteen minutes, shot entirely with hidden cameras around Times Square, New York. On the basis of our collective film memory, cinematographic codes and narrative language, Provost explores the borderline between fiction and reality.
Nicolas Provost is a film maker and visual artist who lives and works in Brussels. His work is a reflection on the grammar of the phenomenon cinema and on the relationship between the visual and the cinematographic experience. His films are shown worldwide and are winning awards at platforms for visual artists and at prestigious film festivals. Plot Point won several international awards and was also nominated at the European Film Academy Awards 2007.
De Brakke Grond is pleased to present this retrospective of international class at their venue at Nes 45, 1012 KD Amsterdam. (nearby de Dam).
