In 1985 videographer/artist Darcy Lange asked "Are there ways for the camera to record without stripping people of their spirit, without sloganising, without replacing a deep sense of community by a shallow voyeurism?
Lange's statement was a rallying cry for those seeking deeper filmic representations of people and place. Twenty-five years later, this screening reflects on recent and historical moving image work made by artists from Aotearoa New Zealand. While some works share Lange's strident sensibilities, others celebrate the possibilities afforded through the mechanics of filmic construction.
People's Television draws together these different perspectives to reinstate the democratic impetus of moving image broadcast.
Television is synonymous with one's home space; the living room. "Home"? is a real-time experience, a utopia state and a place to return to. Many of the works in People's Television capture an idea of home; a place contained by its rhymicity, periodicity and its relationship to an external environment or architectural enclosure. Whether using the tools of filmic construction or documentary realism, People's Television tests the possibility for bringing the moving image closer to home.
Including works by Joanna Margaret Paul, Alex Monteith, Sriwhana Spong, Jim Allen, Peter Wareing, Rebecca Hobbs and Gavin Hipkins.
Curated by Laura Preston and Mark Williams.
