Archive Kabinett is presenting Deimantas Narkevičius‘s recent book, De Capo. Fifteen Films, published through Archive Books and launching at their Berlin space on July 2 at 7pm.
Taking inspiration from French filmmaker Chris Marker‘s two-volume Commentaires published through Éditions du Seuil, Lithuanian artist and filmmaker Narkevičius revisists Marker’s structure and composition in his approach to the relationship between text and image.
Marking superimposition between film material and printed matter through his own various works, Narkevičius writes personal statements for all fifteen of the films included in the book (ranging from 1997 to present-day) and invites sixteen other authors to make their own observations on them.
See the publication page for details on the book and the Archive Kabinett website for details on the event. **
