Stargazer

About This Movie

Stargazer is an intriguing video piece by Bill Morrison, entwined with a live production of 'Persephone' as part of the BAM Next Wave Festival in 2010. The atmosphere is haunting, lingering in that poetic space where visuals and music collide—Ben Neill's compositions paired with Mimi Goese's vocals create this ethereal soundscape that draws you in. Morrison’s signature style of manipulating archival footage lends an almost dreamlike quality to the work, making it feel both timeless and ephemeral. It's the kind of piece that, while not widely recognized, showcases a unique blend of avant-garde performance art and rich sonic exploration, appealing to those with an appreciation for experimental cinema and its various intersections with live art.

Stargazer, while not widely distributed, has garnered interest among collectors due to its unique blend of visual and auditory artistry. The scarcity of this work, primarily tied to festival screenings, makes it an intriguing find for those delving into niche experimental cinema. Morrison's works often attract a dedicated following, and this piece exemplifies his exploration of time and memory, which adds to its allure among collectors.
