Colombian artist & photographer Victor Robledo made a series

Sooooo un-PC on just soooo many levels
and quite quite wonderful too, a great Lumière from

Attractive & interesting 2006 work from Belgian artist Hugo Heyrman
Despite a superficial similarity to the work of the late David Crawford
this work has a dynamic (and a charm) entirely its own.
Check out Heyrman’s Museums of the Mind site for more.
with wavering light – Brian Gibson
with wavering light (2010, 31MB, 3:03 min.)
Delicate, beautiful & assured work from occasional contributor here,
Brian Gibson.
I do particularly love the recorded-as-live harmonium, which, unlike
so much of the current use of music in movie-making serves to somehow
open out, rather than close off, the piece’s field of meanings.
Sam Renseiw – Fragmented Occurences
Fragmented Occurences (2010, 67MB, 4:33 min.)
It’s a little while since we featured anything from the splendid Sam
Renseiw, so here’s a recent piece.
In contrast to many of his films, which have an incredibly strong
sense of a particular place, this was apparently composed
from odds and ends of footage from various locations during the last
few months.
I think it works beautifully; it’s instructive to see Sam intervening,
perhaps a little more than usual, at the editing level.
(His camera work is always very distinctive – there’s often a sense
-true or not- that many pieces are largely composed in the shooting.)
Whatever the case, this is, as always, a wonderful and utterly distinctive voice.
PS This is our 1000th post of the new series. Many thanks to all who have sent words of encouragement & appreciation. It makes the time spent working on DVblog feel doubly worthwhile.

Direct Language 3.0 (2006, 1.5 MB, 52 sec, silent)
Strange fragments of worked over reality which
lodge in the unconscious like splinters.
From Steven Ball’s excellent Direct Language
project – well worth spending some time there.
More recent work from him soon.
