Free Admission

”The Spirit of Garfield (in spite of NH)” by Tamara Henderson is currently showing in the Mini cinema on floor 2. “The Spirit of Garfield (in spite of NH)” is filmed in a single take and, with its elements of perfor¬mance and theatre, becomes a kind of staging of the artist’s subconscious, while the absence of an acting person creates an enigmatic void.

In Tamara Henderson’s films, everyday life is combined with dreamlike, poetic imagery. She takes her home environment as her starting point: her studio, her own apartment, clothes and furniture. The films are preceded by careful observation and sketching, the centre of the films are formed by physical objects – sometimes found, sometimes crafted.

Tamara Henderson searches for the logic of memory and dreams and has sometimes used hypnosis as a method to get beyond a habitual, casual way of seeing. With simple, fully visible means such as ropes, cords and gloved hands, the objects are set in motion in a choreography of the animated things themselves.
