Ken Jacobs - projection performance at Sonic Acts XII

Reverberant Silence: Nervous Magic Lantern Performance

Ken Jacobs (USA) is one of the most important names in the post-war experimental film scene - both because of his films as well as his social role. Together with his wife, Jacobs set up Millenium Film Workshop and was responsible for one of the first university cinema-courses. Jacobs´films and performances highlight the subconsciousness of the cinematic experience; light, movement, speed and frame evoke a purely sensual experience. This is also true for Reverberant Silence, a performance with a magic lantern, but without film or video.
