Film
James N. Kienitz Wilkins
- 7:30PM
Brooklyn artist James N. Kienitz Wilkins, a self-professed lover of “Internet archaeology,” works with lo-fi found footage and fragmentary material, from a video found in a VCR purchased on eBay to an enacted interview in which responses are read off a teleprompter. Blurring the line between documentary and performance and applying a wide range of cinematic influences to these forgotten moments, he crafts richly textured films that are at once naturalistic and conceptual.
