Week 9 Spring Term: Film Stills

Jan-Hendrik Pelz – Dieter Meier (*1945) / Ausser Atem (Director: Jean-Luc Godard, 1960) / Time: 33:33

‘For his fascinating series “Favorites” (2013-2015), German artist Jan-Hendrik Pelz asked 66 artists to tell him their favorite film and give an arbitrary series of numbers as a time code. He then stopped the films at the relevant point and converted the resulting unforeseeable stills into oil paintings.’ (Extract from www.onartandasthetics.com)
