BEAVER LAKE, AUGUST 25TH, 2018, CIEL VARIABLE

Three years after 24.24.24. (RIDM 2016), Daniel Dietzel is back with a video installation that brilliantly continues his exploration of multiple timelines within a single work. Presented on three screens, a cluster of pixels is accompanied by muddled sounds. Gradually, three complementary images emerge: apparently mundane shots of a summer day at Beaver Lake. The sounds also become clearer, revealing themselves as the park’s ambient noise. The false panorama gradually grows denser. Each screen becomes a frame for four scenes captured at different times and frame rates. Temporality becomes malleable, reality is coloured with a vision encompassing past, present and future, in an act that can only exist in cinema.
