The films and installations of Karel Doing (1965, Canberra, Australia) deal with elusive subjects such as music, rhythm, poetry, death, memory and felicity. After starting as an admirer of the surrealists, romantic aesthetics and the new american cinema, Karel Doing has developed into a headstrong filmmaker who gets his inspiration as easily from a thai ghostmovie, a documentary essay or a handdeveloped experimental film. He works often together with composers, musicians, performers, dancers and visual artists. His work is screened and exhibited in a wide range of public spaces such as musea, theaters, cinema and internet, as well in global art crosspoints (New York, London, Paris) as on less obvious locations (Jakarta, Paramaribo, Kabelvåg). He lives and works in Rotterdam.
The performance is organized in cooperation with Film and Television Faculty AMU and with kind support of The Royal Embassy of The Netherland.
