The Light

Buildings and Grounds – The Angst Archive
KEN KOBLAND (USA 2003, VIDEO, 44:26 MIN)
Kobland’s quiet, meditative video is a philosophical investigation, a travelogue of sorts, and, ultimately, a probing essay-film in the tradition of Aleksandr Sokorov or late Godard. The video pairs lingering, beautifully framed shots of urban scenes, industrial installations, deserts, and other evocative landscapes with a series of frag­mentary ruminations. Floating over an image track virtually evacuated of all human form or movement, Kobland ‘s questions and digressions call up a beautiful and melancholy world. The film consist s of a prologue and 5 chapters. In each chapter, audio excerpts from one source are combined with transcrip­tions of text fragments from a totally other source.
