Subway
Angela Ferraiolo, 2011, US, video, 8'

Many of my films have been inspired by Ken’s work. Subway is a good example. Like Whistleblowers, this film tries to take the viewer to that instant where each thing is the thing it really is, a deep moment that somehow evades normal time, hovering just outside everyday life. These instants are elusive, unreachable except through the rush of these definite, yet fleeting, images that light up, die away, then light up again. The apprehension of these moments is what links us to something we might term infinity, or the sublime. Ken is right to refer to these images as ‘eternalisms’. After many attempts at an ‘eternalism’, Subway was my best result. Thanks, Ken, for insisting that we see. (Angela Ferraiolo)
