Add To Cart
Fakerie is a digital seance of aural and visual sculptures by the New Zealand artist Rachel Shearer, formerly known as Lovely Midget. Filmed in an environment to facilitate focused listening, Fakerie is as much for the ears as the eyes. Glowing white lights ebb and expand from darkness in shifting series -- like clustered stars -- as penetrating resonances of acoustic and electronic overtones decompose into the tiniest sand-like components. Traces of Mary Lucier's mid-1970s burn films and Francois Bayle's musical investigation into the physical and psychical world is present.
Packaged in a mini-LP-styled gatefold book, this set also contains a 20-page booklet investigating the ghosts, distances and signals of fakerie.
"An excellent piece of true beauty, that works well with but also without the film. A pity I don't have a home cinema with a big screen, as this would be perfect to watch at night in complete darkness. The year is young, highlight number one is noted down." -- Frans de Ward, Vital Weekly
