Creative Atelier with Film Artist Karel Doing
Presented by CineMobilia with Archive/Counter-Archive
October 9th at 11AM-1PM | Victor Dahdaleh Building Room 2001

Space is limited. Please RSVP via contact@cinemobilia.ca

The artist will screen several recent films, discuss creative uses of celluloid as well as his new book Ruins and Resilience: The Longevity of Experimental Film (Goldsmiths Press, 2024) which reflects on “his own practice by positioning key works within the context of a vibrant experimental film scene in Europe, North and South America, and Asia.” 

Karel Doing is an independent artist, filmmaker, and researcher whose practice investigates the relationship between culture and nature by means of analogue and organic process, experiment, and co-creation. His work has been shown worldwide at festivals, in cinemas, on stage, and in galleries. He was a founder member of Studio één, a pioneering DIY film laboratory. He has invented “phytography,” a technique that combines plants and photochemical emulsion. In his new book Ruins and Resilience: the Longevity of Experimental Film he explores the “ruins” of cinema and the innovative ways by which the experimental artists, since the end of the 20th century, are trying to keep it alive.
