EP.06 - Jacques Perconte

Into the Mothlight Podcast

An interview with renowned visual artist Jacques Perconte where we discuss his work, his approach to and manipulation of the digital image, and filmmaker Stan Brakhage. His work '29 Minutes at Sea' was shown at the 2018 Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival. The description of the work gives little away as to it's impact. "Because of this violence, the image bleeds. But the red does not remain on the surface of the water." We also make reference to his film 'Ettrick', an interrogation of the Scottish Borders unique textile heritage, and his new immersive video-opera, “Faust”.
