A name on the experimental circuit as long ago as the mid 60s, Peter Rose is surely one of the most innovatory and original of American experimentalists. Often ahead of his time, his work shows a deep interest in new technologies and new forms of cinematographic structure which can derive from it. His films, and above all his performances and installations, are improbable and strange voyages into the world of signs, of language and of logic.
In Analogies Peter Rose uses a variety of multiple screens to create a series of visual enigmas. Playing with the effects of diachrony and fragmentation of movements, he creates an unexpected spatio-temporal dimension.
Analogies certainly has its roots in structuralist thought, yet it still manages to be surprisingly lyrical and sensual.
