Q&A w/ the artist via live chat at 8:30pm ET WATCH LINK will appear at 7:15pm ET here: https://microscopegallery.com/janie-geiser-reverse-shadow/
Microscope is very pleased to present an online screening of films and videos by LA-based, experimental filmmaker and artist Janie Geiser, including the premiere of her most recent work *Reverse Shadow* (2019) and the 40-minute series *The Nervous Films*, consisting of five works completed between 2009 and 2012. The Nervous Films series includes four films shot with a 16mm Bolex camera — “Ghost Algebra,” “Kindless Villain,” “The Floor of the World,” and “Arbor” — as well as the video “Ricky,” incorporating imagery from medical illustrations, nature, found footage and objects, among others, photographed frame-by-frame and frequently superimposed in camera. The highly evocative, oneiric compositions often carry unsettling undertones, with associations to the world wars, power, anatomy of the human body, bingo cards, lost memories, and the anxiety of the passage of time. *Reverse Shadows*, which concludes the night, was inspired by an actual dream and is permeated by an “atmosphere of suspended apprehension,” with scenes of hunters pointing at birds, WWII planes flying over red landscapes, and tumultuous rivers set to a soundtrack masterly collaged by the artist using fragments from Cold War’s number station broadcasts, an Edison audio recording of Irving’s story “Rip Van Winkle,” and other appropriated sound excerpts at times digitally reversed.
