Info:
A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness (2013) by Ben Rivers and Ben Russell
A SPELL follows an unnamed character through three seemingly disparate moments in his life. With little explanation, we join him in the midst of a 15-person collective on a small Estonian island; in isolation in the majestic wilderness of Northern Finland; and during a concert as the singer and guitarist of a black metal band in Norway. Marked by loneliness, ecstatic beauty and an optimism of the darkest sort, A SPELL is a radical proposition for the existence of utopia in the present. Starring artist/musician Robert AA Lowe (best known for his intense live performances under the name LICHENS) in the lead role, A SPELL lies somewhere between fiction and non-fiction – it is at once a document of experience and an experience itself, an inquiry into transcendence that sees the cinema as a site for transformation.
Ben Rivers is represented by Kate MacGarry Gallery, London, UK and at Frieze NY
Ene-Liis Semper is represented by Galerie Martin Janda, Vienna, Austria and at Frieze NY
Flo Kasearu, Marko Mäetamm, Jaan Toomik are represented by Temnikova & Kasela Gallery, Tallinn, Estonia and at NADA, NYC
