A Video by Rosalind Schneider
Hosted by Audrey Nefores
Footage collected over a 3-year period of time explores seasonal change that speaks to the continuance of life itself.
The expanded images of the waterscape form a new reference to a personalized vision of place.
Layered images progress from the real into abstraction and a fusion of the two creating a moving image that transcends reality.
Rosalind Schneider seeks to create work that transcends its source to form a new reference to a visionary landscape. The power of the natural environment is a continuing source of inspiration. They are expanded visions of the earth. She seeks sites that carry a primeval power.
Schneider was the first artist to show film as art at the Hirshhorn Museum following a solo show of films at Whitney Museum. Exhibitions of film, video, digital prints and paintings include the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Islip Museum, Chelsea Museum, Hudson River Museum, SculptureCenter, and MOMA (Carte Blanche: Women Writing the Language of Cinema). Her 16mm films are currently being restored by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and will be part of the film archive at the Academy Museum.
