Between the Still and Moving Image

STILL MOVING
October 1November 2, 2008
Photography is part of the DNA of cinema. This exhibition examines the
relationship between the still and moving image by artists and filmmakers whose
works use stillness, slowness, light, cinematographic composition, and movement
to construct different perceptions of time. Some works engage with place,
extending our perception of time into the physical space of the gallery. Others
draw our attention to everyday objects rendered almost three-dimensional by the
cameras unmoving eye. The still photograph is the explicit subject of several
works: collaged, held in front of the camera, or placed on a hot plate and left
to burn as the image slowly disappears before our eyes.

works in the exhibition

Babette Mangolte, The Camera: Je or La Camera: I, I977

16mm film transferred to video, black-and-white and color, sound; 88 minutes
Babette Mangolte (b. 1941) is a filmmaker and photographer, whose documentary
recordings of performances by avant-garde artists and dancers such as Yvonne
Rainer, Trisha Brown, Robert Morris, Robert Wilson, Simone Forti, and Lucinda
Childs are considered classic works of the 1970s.
Mangoltes film The Camera: Je or La Camera I (1977) examines the power
relations inherent in the construction of both still and moving images, folding
one medium inside the other. Mangolte constructs a narrative around her taking
photographs of a series of models as she instructs them how to pose. We watch as
the models, more accustomed to the still camera, become increasingly
self-conscious on film, evoking a sense of empathy and anxiety in the viewer.

Andrew Lampert, Varieties of Slow, 2008

Triple-projection film and performance
Andrew Lampert (b. 1976) is a New York-based filmmaker, whose work often
includes aspects of installation art and performance. Varieties of Slow, a
three-screen 16mm film installation, constructs a framework of time that
operates in direct opposition to conventional cinema time.
In this installation, each screen shows the same film projected at a different
speedsixteen, eighteen, and twenty-four frames per second. At certain moments
during the day, the projectionist makes interventionschanging the lenses,
covering them with colored gels, or even moving the projectors position within
the spacethat further alter our perception of the work.

Time and Place

The Photograph; The Camera; The Frame; The Film Strip

movement and the composition of the film stripa series of still images printed
onto celluloidis made explicit through re-photography.

William Eggleston, still from Stranded in Canton, c. 197374

William Eggleston on Film
November 5, 2008January 4, 2009
While William Eggleston is best known for his still photography, particularly
his color work of the 1960s and 70s, Eggleston also experimented with video.
Egglestons Stranded in Canton (c. 197374) is a home-movie portrait of friends
and acquaintances in the South, shot in bars, juke joints, and roadside diners.
The Whitney presents a feature-length cut of this video along with three recent
documentary films about Egglestons work and life: William Eggleston in the Real
World, by Michael Almereyda, William Eggleston: Photographer, by Reiner
Holzemer, and By the Ways: A Journey with William Eggleston, by Vincent Grard
and Cdric Laty.
