Light Movement Hoorn

A evening of films co-curated with Light Movement, from Berlin, as part of the residency of Alanna Lawley.

The artist and HMK resident Alanna Lawley seeks to absorb her environment’s physical terms, creating site-specific architectural constructions that masquerade as photographic collages. Through multiple processes, Lawley creates connections to the spatial and physical relationships of image, space and photography. She invited Light Movement to organise a selection of films as a reflection on the themes present in her ambitious site-specific works and to inform her residency at Hotel Maria Kapel, where she continues to develop her body of work referred to as 3D collages.

Dates:
Friday, June 2, 2017 - 20:00 to Saturday, June 3, 2017 - 19:55
Venue:
HMK {HotelMariaKapel} - Hoorn, Netherlands
