In FOREST, we follow a young woman who rises from underwater and
crosses a great distance to find other people like her, dressed
in athletic uniform and camping in a great forest. Each day is
progressively more chaotic, until a crisis occurs and the athletes
must leave.
Ivan and Brock spent months arriving at a concept largely derived
from Brock’s lexicon of psychological interventionism. Many
of Brock’s veteran players were up for the experience, and
Ivan’s shooting script helped establish the environment
and the situations that would eventually comprise a tiny, self
contained world in moving pictures.
FOREST is Ivan Hürzeler’s second movie
to premier at the gallery, and his most ambitious project to date.
His movies screened at international film festivals in France
and Germany in 2004. He received his BFA from Rhode Island School
of Design in 1995. He lives and works in New York and Los Angeles.
Brock Enright, a New York artist, received his
MFA at Columbia University in 2001. He has exhibited widely in
museums, galleries, theaters and on the internet. His work was
recently included in Expander at London’s Royal Academy,
and Greater New York at PS1. He had his first solo exhibition,
Raising Dead Mothers, at Vilma Gold, London in 2005, and his adaptation
of Freidrich Schiller’s 1781 play The Robbers is currently
playing at the German National Theater in Weimar, Germany.
Film credits: Dedication to Sonia Bedikian, who made the production
of this movie possible and died in January 2006.
