Blue Oyster


Martyn Reynolds: Samuel Georgia Oscar / Turning back and forth

Centering on a video shot on Banks Peninsula with three actors, Reynolds explores ideas of landscape painting by mixing its tropes with those used in adverting media, fashion and car advertising.

The words 'landscape painting' in relation to this video came together nicely. Each scene in the video was very still like a painting but kept it time/ movement properties of a video. I saw the ideas of documentary landscape in the work with a new form of cinema seating in a gallery space.
