Screening of three films by Swedish artist Sara Preibsch at IMT in collaboration with Filmarmalade.

Sara Preibsch’s ‘White Shoe Station’ is inspired by the story of the ‘Piano Man’, an amnesic who was found wandering on a beach in Sussex in 2005. The film combines a monologue by the writer Tilman Rammstedt and music by the composer Avi Tchamni, which create an meditative audio visual elegy that traces the breakdown of a man who no longer wants to recall or be called.

The evening also included the screening of Preibsch’s previous film works, ‘Late Birds’ and ‘The Beekeeper’ and a round table discussion with the artist and critic Andrew Fisher (co editor of the journal Philosophy of Photography), Gordon Shrigley (Filmarmalade) and the artist Julia Dogra-Brazell.

Sara Preibsch recently exhibited work at Vine Space, London, Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne, the Images Festival, Toronto, Les Rencontres Internationales, Paris, Färg Fabriken, Stockholm and in 2008 she received a LAFVA award for the film, White Shoe Station. She was born in Sweden and currently lives and works in London.

Filmarmalade is an artists run project established to publish on DVD selected artists’ films and video works, so as to encourage a wider access to the moving image and to allow a greater understanding, through specially commissioned interviews of how each artist situates their work, in relation to the history of art and contemporary fine art practice.
