The Poetics Of Place: Films By Rose Lowder November 5, 2012

Rose Lowder is one of Europe's most influential and celebrated cinematic treasures-a filmmaker and scholar who first trained as a painter and sculptor, then later studied with filmmaker Jean Rouch. Since 1977 Lowder has made more than 50 films that create complex single-frame matrices, bordering eerily on the edge of animation. Whether filming the view from her Avignon window, the French countryside, or centuries-old structures, Lowder composes highly charged, multiple-perspective mosaics that explore nature's visual wonders and the underlying ecology of specific places. She investigates the world around her with a scientist's precision, and exalts it with a singular vibrancy of form and color. The program includes the early masterwork Rue des Teinturiers (1977), the series of stunning one-minute cinematic studies, Bouquets 11-20 (2005-10), and the recent tour-de-force Jardin du sel (Garden of salt, 2011).
