Ultraworld
As a coda of sorts to Francois Miron’s recent documentary on Paul Sharits, we’re very please to present a quartet of Miron’s own films, plus a screening of Sharits’ seminal T.O.U.C.H.I.N.G. Miron’s work in the Nineties was characterized by intensely dense optical printing, abstracting post-industrial landscapes and scavenged educational films into unique self-portraiture. The films become psychedelic visual trips that overload the senses—his affinity for Sharits comes as no surprise.
