Dream Voices, Day Voices
Canada 1986 , 7 min
"In this tape I have tried to realize the following ideas: 1) The way in which we perceive the every day forms and situations of physical reality is quite often different than the environment which appears when we experience visual memories and thought and dreams... 2) It is common for us to experience past of our external and internal worlds concurrently and at varying intensities." Statement by John Galloway. Galloway's videotape is an experimental and fictional approach to the interaction between the sleeping and waking states.
About iFpod
For the 2012 festival, Images is looking back to its first edition. Taking place over four days in June, 1988, the first Images Festival was a snapshot in a moment of contemporary film and video art in Canada. The 1988 festival was programmed by a team of artists and other fixtures on the local film scene and included Cameron Bailey, Richard Fung, Marc Glassman, Annette Mangaard, Janine Marchessault, Paulette Phillips, Lisa Steele, Kim Tomczak and Ross Turnbull. Featuring 51 films and videos organized into eight programs, the lineup of the festival reads like a hit list of the most significant figures in Canadian art history: Philip Hoffman, Vera Frenkel, Paul Wong, Richard Kerr, Jan Peacock, Sara Diamond, Michael Snow, R. Bruce Elder and Steve Reinke (under the early pseudonym Troy Beuys).
A complete list of the works and
programs is printed here as a reproduction of the original handbill made
in 1988 and on our website we’ll be presenting a temporary archive of as
many of these works as we can track down for you to enjoy!
