A BellArtLabs group show Continued Explorations New and Ongoing Works October 8th – 22nd 2016 at Greyfriars Art Space Kings Lynn, Norfolk in which the following works were presented.
Chris Mizsak experimented with Super 8 mm looped film projections of personal and found footage to create moving portraits and landscapes. Whilst the appropriation of found home-movie footage provides a socio-historical context, it also proffers the deeper notion of something lost, rediscovered and re-contextualised. Chris collects discarded films, and gallery visitors are invited to contribute to the work by donating old film reels.
