GUNVOR NELSON 2: PERSONAL FILMS
\n<\/b> <\/b> <\/b> <\/b>Thursday 21 November 2002, at 7pm
\nGateshead BALTIC Centre
\n<\/b><\/p>\n
Introduced by Gunvor Nelson.<\/p>\n
In her personal films, Gunvor Nelson explores relationships within the family. My Name is Oona<\/i>, a study of her young daughter, was fabricated from just few seconds of looped and superimposed footage (a technique which echoes the mesmeric tape soundtrack by composer Steve Reich). Time Being<\/i> is a moving, silent portrayal of her ageing mother in hospital, often shot in extreme close-up. Red Shift<\/i> concerns the relationships between the women of three different generations (Gunvor, her mother and her daughter), made in such a sensitive manner that it appears almost dreamlike.<\/p>\n
