BINDING

2013 / 16mm transfered to video / 10 min

​

 

Basic social cell, a family, is dissected by the shadow and light in this Caligariesque retelling of an old tale.

​

a sumptuous narrative suffused with the technique and beauty of cinema’s silent era

                                                                                         - Noah Gowan (Grolsch Film Works)

​

a stylized update to the story of Isaac, which harkens to the paintings of Carravagio and the early German expressionism of Fritz Lang and Carl Meyer
