Ken Jacobs, Return to the Scene of the Crime.
Friday 19 September 2008, 19.00
In a contemporary riff on one of his landmark works, the influential experimental filmmaker Ken Jacobs uses new technology to both interrogate and arouse a theatrical tableau, shot in 1905, based on Hogarth's Southwark Fair. The antique film print is probed, exploded and reconstituted in the digital domain with radical ingenuity and infectious wit. This extraordinary new work teaches us how to see. Screening curated by Mark Webber.
Tickets now available through the Tate Modern Box Office.
