At the Graveside of Tarkovsky 2012

Directed by John Akomfrah

A homage to Russian film giant Andrei Tarkovsky, this work integrates excerpts of soundtracks from Tarkovsky’s films with a slideshow of landscapes shot by Akomfrah and an evocative sculptural installation. Working with long time collaborator, sound artist Trevor Mathison, Akomfrah creates an environment thick with longing and the evasive and yet inescapable presence of death. At the Graveside of Tarkovsky is a mixed media installation with sound and single channel HD colour video.
