ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:

Australian artist Sam Smith has long been interested in the capacity of moving images to manipulate our sense of time and space and to absorb viewers into fictitious realms. This project is the first time he has shot on celluloid film in addition to video, bringing a new dimension to his exploration of cinematic conventions in an era of digital production. Sam Smith is a video and installation artist currently based in Berlin, Germany.

At once an artistic critique of cinema and an exposure of the technology behind video imagery, Smith’s practice integrates sculptural form and moving image. He is interested in the capacity of film and video installation to distort our sense of time and space through the manipulation of filmic narratives. True to MOMENTUM’s mission to interrogate what we define by time-based art, Sam Smith’s layering of analog film, digital media, and physical sculpture self-referrentially and lyrically addresses the manipulations of time from both the point of view of artist, and viewer.
