Solar Breath (Northern Caryatids) | Light AirCurated by Atom Egoyan

facebook tell your friends twitter post 60 mins

Two artists from different generations of innovation join forces in an installation curated by filmmaker Atom Egoyan in tribute to the late David Pecaut, co-founder of Luminato.
Michael Snow, whose more than fifty-year career has encompassed experimental filmmaking, sculpture, painting, music, and photography, is one of Canada's most celebrated Master artists. Mani Mazinani, a recent graduate of the University of Toronto, where he studied under Egoyan, is an emerging video artist, composer, and musician who worked on Snow's 2005 film SSHTOORRTY.

Their installation, which juxtaposes Snow's 2002 film Solar Breath (Northern Caryatids) with a work created in response to it by Mazinani, is inspired by the last few letters that Pecaut wrote to Egoyan before his passing.

What a wonderful tribute to the man with the golden heart. David was a flag bearer of "doing right". I can hardly wait to see this tribute. Thanks for doing it and sharing it. GOOD ON YOU!
