Worlds: Selected Works By Ben Rivers
The British artist and filmmaker Ben Rivers is internationally renowned for creating a body of bold experimental docufictions that search for an escape from modern society. Rivers shoots in various film formats and film stocks, often using an old Bolex wind-up camera, and self-processes the films, giving the appearance of found, aged or archival footage. Breaking the conventional rules of documentary filmmaking, Rivers’ films are evocative and sensory, and are an entirely unique personal vision. This selection of 25 extraordinary films has been specifically curated by the artist.
