Private Project

TIME BEING

The introverted experience of these pandemic times is revealed here in the making of a water-based painting enlarged by a factor of ten (x10).
The brushstrokes are amplified and find an echo in the soundtrack.
This is derived from recording the act of painting and from sampling cinematic sound mixes.
The paintbrush and the camera establish a dialogue following the fluidity of the pigments.

Director Biography - Ron Kenley

Ron Kenley
Trained as an architect with a long career in teaching, he has been making multi-media works and videos since 1998. A collaboration with the philosopher Jean Attali for Le Fresnoy, Studio d'Art Contemporain resulted in a number of visual works as film analysis (2001-2003). Over the years, he developed the capacity for handling all the aspects of filmmaking more or less single-handed. This resulted in a diverse and independent work of various lengths and subjects.
