Lauschmann’s critically acclaimed work has been described as too slow to be film, and too fast to be photography. Working across old and new technologies, he creates magical installations that reference pre-cinematic optical entertainment and the power of illusions. This solo exhibition responds to the context of the Laing, continuing his interest in the history of image technology from paintings to game engines. Including Father’s Monocle, in which animal flocking behaviour is projected through a rotating monocle lens.
Commissioned by AV Festival, DCA, Dundee and Film and Video Umbrella.
