EVENING SCREENING AND DISCUSSION

at Danielle Arnaud Gallery,  123 Kennington Road, London SE11 6SF.    Friday 31 May  6.30pm

Pucill’s recent film  ‘Double Exposure’ which premiered at Frankfurt Experimental Film Festival September 2023 alongside a programme of experimental films from both Pucill and the late filmmaker Sandra Lahire.

After the screening, there will be a discussion between the filmmaker and curator and writer Helena Reckitt, who is a curator, writer and researcher and is currently a Reader at Goldsmiths University. 

Double Exposure, (16mm+Digital, bw+col, 26min, 2023) 

‘Double Exposure’ film stills 2023

Double Exposure re-stages photographs of Pucill and her once partner Sandra Lahire, shortly before Sandra’s death from anorexia in 2001.  Black and white photographic images are projected onto an interior wall, where the filmmaker steps inside.  Alone with the camera, the filmmaker blindly positions herself into a place that she cannot see, to re-play the image, to meet herself then and Sandra, who both keep getting younger.  ‘Double Exposure’ is a space created between two time-frames,  two women and between material and light, whilst  objects from the projections are placed in position with their ‘light projection’ double;  a dress, shoe, mirror, table, chair etc.  Inside this imagined intimacy , the silence in the room is interrupted with street sounds from the world outside.

exf f. – days of experimental cinema frankfurt.7-10 September 2023.

on 9 September 2023 as part of the Programme: “Between Women: British  Women filmmakers in 1990s London ” 

“Double Exposure” film 28min, 16mm+Digital, 2000/2023

Double Exposure re-stages photographs of Pucill and her once partner, filmmaker Sandra Lahire that were made collaboratively shortly before Lahire’s death from anorexia in 2001.   Set inside an otherwise quiet studio, black and white  interior scenarios are played out with picture frames, chairs, and a dining table, whilst street sounds from outside are heard, as the filmmaker re- positions her body inside the slide projections of herself and Lahire.  These inner walls of photographs from another time, are re-lived as if in stilled time.  Still and moving merge also with out-takes from a film made soon after Lahire’s death.  Contrasting this, the start and end that bookend the film, show an open space of 16mm film that bleeds colour over a sea, sky and sun, as well as a half collapsed pier in Brighton from the 2001 fire.  In a further layer, Pucill reads lines from an academic text Lahire was writing at the time the photos were made.  Quotes from the painter Georgio de Chirico and poet Sylvia Plath’s reflect on seemingly extraneous ideas of art and love, the camera and psyche and the politics of a feminist queer body.  The linear time of the body and the vertical time of film are placed in conjunction.   Lahires piano, performance and words are very much alive, as is the strange meetings between filmmaker and Lahire over the years.

The Debutante Magazine (Surrealism and Women)    7-8.15pm

‘Magic Mirror‘ (2013) and ‘Confessions to the Mirror‘ (2016) bring cinematic life to the photographic and written archive of the surrealist Claude Cahun. Sarah Pucill, the artist behind these kaleidoscopic films, will be speaking about the films that encompass a major survey of relationships between Cahun’s writing and photographs. Pucill will present clips from the work, and discuss the filmmaking process and influence. She describes these films as countering the subject-object method of the documentary format where the historic artist is categorised and defined (both factors of which run counter to the essence of Cahun’s oeuvre). Instead, Pucill’s films create a side-by-side relationship between a contemporary and historically famed artist, where Pucill dialogues with Cahun’s photos and text, thus imagining a hypothetical collaboration with the deceased artist.

After Pucill’s presentation, The Debutante editors will host a short Q&A.

MAGIC MIRROR

Rebecca del Tufo x The Lexi

Curated by Juliet Jacques and followed by a Q&A with director Sarah Pucill, hosted by Juliet Jacques

MAGIC MIRROR, screened at The Lexi, London in September 2022 combines a re-staging of the French surrealist artist Claude Cahun’s black and white photographs with selected extracts from her book Aveux non avenus (1930, Confessions Denied).

Juliet Jacques (@zinovievletter) is a writer and filmmaker based in London. She has published three books and a volume of short stories, with her fourth book, Front Lines: Trans Journalism 2007-2021, due out in July 2022.

Episode 3: Magic Mirror  Sep 2022

We travel back to the Lexi in London for a second screening hosted by programmer Rebecca del Tufo – this time with the filmmaker in attendance! Juliet Jacques is on hand to introduce Magic Mirror, Sarah Pucill’s first film about genderqueer artists and lovers Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, and she returns for an exhilarating deep-dive Q&A with the filmmaker after the screening. Together, Juliet and Sarah cover Cahun’s biography and artistic practice, Pucill’s experimental filmmaking practices, and theoretical questions of self, other, identity and creativity.

Family Ties Network Research Event

University of the Creative Arts, Farnham, Surrey

To celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the Family Ties Network (FTN), a research group of artists, filmmakers and writers who explore memory, space, place and the family in photography and moving image. This is held in association with the group exhibition ‘Family and Other Ties’ featuring works by the seven artists on show in the Foyer Gallery from 27^th October – 9^th December 2022.

Presentation by Sarah Pucill 

Sarah is currently working on a film that re visits through re-staging earlier photographs made 20 years ago with her late partner, the filmmaker Sandra Lahire, through performance with slide projection.  The new work will explore the possibilities of photo film as an intermedial form that crosses and interlaces authorships, time, and perceptions of the living collaboration with an artist no longer here.  This film includes out-takes from her earlier celluloid film Stages of Mourning (2004).  http://www.sarahpucill.co.uk

at Theatre de Gennevilliers, Paris in the program of festival d’automne.

The play premiered in French with the title L’Aventure Invisible at T2G Théâtre de Gennevilliers in Paris as part of Festival d’Automne in October 2020. It is based on interviews with three people: An American brain scientist who experienced a stroke and was able to study the collapse of her own brain from the inside. At the age of 37, she lost all her memories and was forced to re-invent her whole personality from scratch. A bookseller from Paris, was born with a genetic disease that made his face deformed. Through experimental surgery, he was able to receive the world’s first full facial transplantation.And an experimental filmmaker became obsessed with the mysterious photography of iconic queer artist Claude Cahún. Through elaborate cinematic reconstructions of Cahún’s photos, the filmmaker opens up a portal to the past.

The invisible adventure is partly based on interviews with brain scientist Jill Bolte Taylor, facial transplantation patient Jérôme Hamon and artist Sarah Pucill.

A collection of films, in the spirit of Todd Haynes’ underground classic Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (which had its premiere at the Millennium Film Workshop in 1987!), that use the imagery of dolls, dollhouses and doll ephemera to satirize our plastic existences. These films run the tonal gamut from irreverent to poetic to disturbing — sometimes all in the same breath.

Curated by Greg Pope as part of the Dream That Kicks Screening Series

The film slowly evolves with precision and tension, the splitting of identity appears as a double which persists throughout; superimposition, shadow, imprints in sand, reflections in water, mirror and distorting glass. Three characters swapping identities between gender, age and the inanimate. Voices separate: different voices, which at times overlap, and at times are in conversation; these are extracts from Cahun’s book Aveux Non Avenus (Confessions Cut Off).

From act to act, each self-contained drama proceeds like series of Noh theatre pieces, the total effect is less that of a present action than of a simile or metaphor made visual, the full comprehension of which stays just out of reach.

The images and words remain echoing, reflecting and refracting in the mind long after the film has finished.

I ritualise through a performance to camera the coming to terms with the loss of my partner, Sandra Lahire. A journey of mourning incorporates this staging both for myself and for the camera / audience. The film explores the relationship between the hallucinatory power of the phantom of memory with that of the phantom ingrained in the photograph, film or video. (Sarah Pucill)
