Phill Niblock

The Movement of People Working

Curated by Andrea Lissoni

The Movement of People Working is the title of the long series of films made by Phill Niblock between 1973 and 1985 in rural areas in countries around the world (China, Brazil, Portugal, Lesotho, Puerto Rico, Hong Kong, Mexico, Hungary, Peru). Through simple and sophisticated frames, a special dry-mounting, an impeccable handling of colours, the movies, with incredible relevance, preannounce the contradictions and paradoxes of globalization.

Six-screen video installation specially conceived for HangarBicocca spaces, first international projection.

For HangarBicocca, Niblock has selected from the series The Movement of People Working eight films lasting between two hours and 75 minutes: each one of them will be shown alternately on a long broken line of six screens during the concert with a live soundtrack, and, afterwards, for the entire duration of the exhibition (with a further selection of music). After the musical events JO, by Cameron Jamie with Keiji Haino and End, Carlos Casas’ installation and performance, with The Movement of People Working di Phill Niblock we are getting closer to the exhibition Terre vulnerabili.
