Ritual of the Fall

Organic Remains of a Former World
 

This October, on the 15th day, we observe National Fossil Day in accordance with the National Park Service. The nature of the changes which wildlife undergoes while passing into the mineral state is but little known, and in recognition of this eternal material, we celebrate remnants found in the rubble of a lead mine.

Presented by Los Angeles Filmforum, Kathy Rose’s work began with drawn animated films in the 1970s, and evolved into work that combines dance with film in the 1980-90s, to her current surreal performance video spectacles and installations, with influence from symbolist art and the Japanese Noh theater. We are screening an array of work, focusing primarily on her performance-based videos of recent years, most of which will be making their Los Angeles premieres. Kathy Rose will be in attendance for questions and answers.
