Film | 'Regular Division' By Joe Hamilton: Nature Meets Old Masters Collage

Regular Division from Joe Hamilton on Vimeo.

This is Collossal brings us ‘Regular’ Division’, an almost hypnotic collage from artist Joe Hamilton.

‘Regular Division’ is a collaged video loop that was shot and digitally composed on location in Europe, Asia and the Middle East as part of a new series of works looking at landscape. The series responds to the impact of the digital technologies on our representation of landscape and the effect of this on our relationship with landscape.

‘Regular Division’, the first in this series of works, features a spiral of intermingled scenes filmed from inside a number of green houses and domes. An artificial paradise of foliage under a canopy of gridded glass. The video also features high resolution images of brush strokes taken from classical oil paintings bridging a connection to the traditional medium that has played such an important role in the representation of landscape in the past.

This splendid film collage is on view in New York until October 19, 2014 at Pablo’s Birthday gallery, 57 Orchard Street.
