Ryan Trecartin Video Programı

Born in 1981 Ryan Trecartin is one of the leading video artists of his generation and frequently collaborates with Lizzie Fitch. He has established a singular video practice that in form and function advances understandings of new and approaching forms of technology, language, narrative, identity, and humanity.

"Any Ever" (2010), a collaboration with Lizzie Fitch, comprises seven autonomous but interrelated videos. The work is structured as a diptych, with "Trill-ogy Comp" (three movies) as one side and "Re’search Wait’S" (four movies) as the other. Taken together, these videos embark on a poetic, formal and structural elaboration, portraying a perpetual flux of relationships among characters, a constellation of existential questions that are urgent and topical in today’s world.

The individual videos fit together, block, break, orbit, or attract one another in infinite shifting combinations. The master narrative in “Any Ever" is subjectively chosen by the viewer, and read from the topography and interaction of the seven parts. The combination of assaulting avant-garde logics and outlandish and virtuoso use of color, form, drama and editing produces a sublime stream-of-consciousness effect that feels bewilderingly true to life.
