Surrealist
Motion Volume One uses the latest technology of Blu Ray to transform your flat
screen television into a living digital painting. The quality of this Blu-ray
cannot be faulted. It is of the very highest quality with deep intense colours.
It is easy to use and offers continuous play with auto repeat. It has been
mastered in 1080p at an impressive bit-rate (>35 Mbit/s).
Surrealism
emerged as a new art form between World War I & II and has been celebrated
ever since. It influenced not only art but fiction, cinema and indeed, most
creative styles.
However
since Surrealism was primarily expressed in paintings and etchings, such works
have only been experienced in a static way. Now you can see surrealism like never
before with incredible living works of video art. These are four works
beautifully presented, each offering a different take on Surrealism.
Be
intrigued by how the daylight shifts in an empty room or how the stare of an
eye floats in a desert dream.
Marvel
at how churches lift into the sky and at an unusual castle that hovers in the
air.
Room with a View directed by Jonathan
Knape
In
this work we have set-up a room with some objects that we have paraphrased from
Rene Magritte.
This Castle is not Located in the
Pyrenees directed by Jonathan Knape
The
painting Castle in the Pyrenees 1959 by Magritte has obviously been an
inspiration for us in the creation of this work.
Prairie Serenades directed by Jonathan
Knape
In
Magritte's work Voice of the Winds from 1928, three iron bells hover above the
ground symbolizing the sound of the wind. In our work there are three wooden
churches on a prairie.
Persistence of the Watchful Eye
directed by Jonathan Knape
In
this work, we have used Salvador Dali and his painting Persistence of Memory
from 1931 as inspiration.
This
is an interesting product which can work as a digital art installation in your
home, a background for entertaining or just something unusual to watch and
reflect on.
