Tacita Dean - Tate Modern

Tacita Dean's 'FIlm' is now in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern (11th October- 11th March 2011). In the above video she talks about her work and one piece in particular, the search for the green ray. Its very well worth watching to hear her thoughts about ways of seeing, and the analog versus digital portrayal of the world and the things that fall between. 'Dean’s films act as portraits or depictions rather than conventional cinematic storytelling, capturing fleeting natural light or subtle shifts in movement. Her static camera positions and long takes allow events to unfold unhurriedly. Other works have attempted to reconstruct events from memory, such as an infamous thwarted attempt to circumnavigate the world.' Tate
