A Moment’s Reverie and Gaijin/The Foreigner
premiering November 5, 2009
In conjunction with First Thursday, we are psyched to premiere the first new additions to the e4c lineup for the 09/10 season. Seattle-based animator Tess Martin will present two works adapted for the electronic gallery:
A Moment’s Reverie, a back-lit paper cut-out animation, which is a journey through a character’s thoughts and memories, triggered by the letters in her book. These same letters burn up in a tea cup, get shot, and hover in the sky, spelling out her most hidden desires.
Gaijin/The Foreigner, a piece using packaging from junk mail found in Japan in a clever cut-out animation following a chameleon-like character through a journey of change.
