LUX SALON: HANNES SCH\u00dcPBACH: FILM SOLO The Swiss artist Hannes Sch\u00fcpbach creates silent colour films that evoke an experience similar to poetry. He composes and varies images of places, people, and gestures, deriving from a specific living context in each film. The subtlety and distance of his images invite the eye to \u2018listen\u2019 very carefully. The program shows the gradual development of the artist\u2019s film language, based on the nature of the film image as both trace of reality and potential metaphor. Hannes Sch\u00fcpbach has been working with film, parallel to his large painting suites, since the early 1990s.<\/p>\n Hannes Sch\u00fcpbach, Portrait Mariage, 2000, colour, silent, 9 min<\/strong> LUX SALON: HANNES SCH\u00dcPBACH: FILM SOLO PORTRAIT MARIAGE <\/strong>(filmed in the Val Bregaglia, Switzerland) SPIN<\/strong> (filmed in Winterthur, Switzerland) TOCCATA<\/strong> (filmed in Genoa, Italy, 1999-2001)

\nPortrait Mariage<\/em> turns the staging of a rite of passage into an allusively layered narrative. The film distils a sensual remembrance by the filmmaker\u2019s intense participation and his spontaneous aesthetic choices.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Spin<\/em> reflects the beauty of the transitory and evokes the regret connect to its passing. The artist\u2019s ageing mother, at the centre of this film, marks the unique presence of the single human consciousness. (Spin \u2013 the inherent turning momentum of electrons.)<\/p>\n
\nHannes Sch\u00fcpbach, Switzerland, 2002, colour, silent, 28 min
\n<\/strong>Toccata<\/em> develops the \u2018touch of the place\u2019 through a direct encounter with the seemingly familiar elements of a house and city. The image recreates an inner experience by the use of a wide range of stylised movements and colourings. \u201cIl tocco means not only touch; it can also mean a small quantity, a single brush stroke in painting, the striking of a bell or piano keys.\u201d Toccata<\/em> was screened at the 2002 New York Film Festival\u2019s \u2018Views from the Avant-Garde\u2019.<\/p>\n
