| Alan Marker is
a Psychiatrist and amateur filmmaker. For the past four years
he has made a fascinating series of short films of his friends
and family called 'Me and my Ghosts'. In these films, the subject
sits in a chair and their faces are filmed as a series of images
is projected over them. The images are carefully framed and sequenced
moving film clips and loops as well as photographic stills of
the faces of those who have been significant in the subject's
life - friends, family, film stars and media figures - even domestic
pets such as cats and dogs. The result is a strange merging of
the subject with the projections. A sort of modern mediumistic
transference appears to take place. The faces seem to melt and
reform into each other as the initial subject dissolves into
a series of hybrid identities, nebulae of remembered and incorporated
personalities.These films are moving, surprising, occasionally
grotesque and strangely unsettling. They are surely unique in
the history of filmmaking. |
