Is All Around

2024 / 03’28” / digital / colour, b&w / sound

Synopsis

A theatrical space is covered with large canvases and curtains of paper. Then, a figure start cutting out frames, introducing a pictorial play on the seen and unseen. Is All Around is an abstract impression of Zoey Benschop’s artistic process while making her 2022 work Raamwerk.

Press

"Bram's windows and Rhayne's shadows, beguiling and tactile, real reach-out-and-touch-it cinema. Reminded variously of Ernie Gehr and Peter Kubelka, and as always of the velvet hand of the avant-garde. To spend even minutes with artists like these is a perennial joy." —Scout Tafoya
