Michael Nyman: Man With A Movie Camera

2 August – 27 September 2013

Michael Nyman’s first ever exhibition in Scotland will consist of a major installation showing simultaneously the video film-maker, photographer and composer’s ten (10!) remakes of the famous vintage film “Man with a Movie Camera” by the Russian film-maker Dziga Vertov and his wife Yelizaveta Svilova (who edited the film).

Nyman’s ten films share identical frames which are synched exactly to the original film and additionally all of the films share a common soundtrack written by the artist and composer. All ten films and the original work will be able to be viewed from a single view point in the gallery space or the visitor may walk amongst the screens and monitors.

Other photographic works by Nyman will be shown also in the side rooms of the upper gallery. The works in this series are entitled “Sublime” and consist of photographs taken by Nyman as he travels the world.

Exhibition in the Upper Church Gallery, Hope Park Terrace.

September: 11am-6pm
