THE RING

Morrison’s latest work shows how much joy and wonder can be created by a small white mark on screen. Featuring footage from a damaged 35mm print of Miloš Forman's Czech classic Loves of a Blonde (1965) the film puts the peculiar stain at the centre of the action. Accompanied by the drone sounds of Yo La Tengo’s music, Morrison lets the restless splashes of white dance with the characters and around the ring finger of the girl that in Forman’s original is so desperately looking for love. The damaged film print originally belongs to the Kinemathek Le Bon Film and was stored there for a long time before it was given to the artist. Morrison’s new work not only breathes new life into the original film and shows it in a new format. It also presents Bildrausch and the Stadtkino with a very special ceiling projection that encapsulates what makes Morrison’s work with lost and destroyed archive footage so endlessly fascinating.
