I see the world with your eyes. I listen to it with your ears. With your heart...
Widely regarded as Tarkovsky’s finest film, Andrei Rublev charts the life of the great iconic painter through a turbulent period of 15th-century Russian history. Made on an epic scale, it does not flinch from portraying the savagery of the time, from which, almost inexplicably, the serenity of Rublev’s art arose.
Presented through a series of episodic vignettes, the film examines the struggles of an artist seeking meaning and inspiration amidst chaos. Tarkovsky's meditative storytelling, coupled with stunning black-and-white cinematography, captures the tension between suffering and creation.
David Quinn, artist and curator of lucent, has selected two films – Andrei Rublev and Mirror – to accompany the exhibition in The Levinsky Gallery. This special screening will be introduced by Mary Costello, Exhibitions Programme Curator, The Bridge, University of Plymouth.
"The primary attraction of these films for me, are their aesthetic qualities, which I feel rhyme with the qualities of the work in lucent. There is a collage-like element to both, that forgoes linear narrative in favour of an impressionistic timeless visual beauty, which I think also resonates with the work in the exhibition and how it is presented."
