Drift - Short Film

Filmmaker and media artist Max Hattler has shown his awardwinning experimental films at over 250 festivals and exhibitions worldwide.

His work has appeared in Specialten before by way of his film “Collision” on issue #13 in 2006. His latest work Drift is a collaboration with music composer Mark Bowden, devised during an Aldeburgh Music residency. Drift considers the body as landscape through close-up images of skin. The music likewise takes a close-up view of a series of harp chords and viola harmonics. Using real photography in extreme close-up creates a foreign yet familiar world, removed from reality, yet sometimes almost too close. In the music, this tension is mirrored. Original samples are exploded into a multitude of tiny elements before being reconstructed into a tight arrangement based on the Fibonacci series.

Drift appears in full on the Dvd in this issue.
