During his presentation Reynold will show works made in his Berlin studio (Six Apartments) and some older works from his collaborations in New York with Patrick Jolley (The Drowning Room).

About Reynold Reynolds

Reynold Reynolds is an award winning experimental film maker and visual artist with a background in physics. Originally from Alaska he now lives and works in Berlin. Influenced early on by philosophy and science, and working primarily with 16mm as an art medium, he has developed a film grammar based on transformation, consumption and decay. Detailed evolving symbols and allusive references create a powerful pictorial language based on Reynolds’ analytical point of view. His depiction of people often makes us aware of the small frames we use to understand reality. By subtly altering the regular conditions of life and watching their effects, he transfers the experimental methods of science to film making, where he frames reality in his laboratory and changes one variable at a time to reveal an underlying causality.
