Locus: Apichatpong Weerasethakul – Cao Guimarães

The exhibition • Locus: Apichatpong Weerasethakul – Cao Guimarães • ran from16 September through 3 December 2017 in Eye Filmmuseum Amsterdam. This video registration intends to give an impression of the exhibition and was commissioned by Eye Filmmuseum. EYE is organizing a major exhibition on the work of two prominent film artists: Apichatpong Weerasethakul (1970) and Cao Guimarães (1965). Their acclaimed work evokes a world that blends dream, sensory experience and reality, inviting visitors to momentarily step out of their rationally structured lives. Thai artist Apichatpong Weerasethakul won a Golden Palm at Cannes Film Festival in 2010. In addition, he creates video installations, photographs and experimental documentaries that transcend the confines of cinema. Brazilian artist Cao Guimarães is primarily known for his short films and video installations, but he also creates remarkable movies and photographic works. Both artists are steeped in their local contexts. Apichatpong and Guimarães draw inspiration from the landscapes, stories, history and socio-political conditions of their respective countries, while their work also explores memory, time, friendship and human dignity. Guimarães and Weerasethakul are like-minded artists whose work starts with the ordinary, everyday life all around us, but it requires an exceptional eye, a trained eye, to reveal its beauty, colours, rhythms, light, sounds and smells. Both artists make humane works that raise the ‘ordinary’ to another level. Their creations evoke a sensory world that invites observers to immerse themselves and escape from their limited and often rational way of thinking. Locus: Apichatpong Weerasethakul - Cao Guimarães is supported by Ammodo, Institute of Arts and Sciences and Fonds 21. Primitive was commissioned by Haus der Kunst, Munich with FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), Liverpool and Animate Projects, London. Produced by Illuminations Films and Kick the Machine Films. [text EYE Filmmuseum] This video was commissioned by EYE Filmmuseum Amsterdam ©2018 Frans Parthesius / EYE Filmmuseum
