In an attempt to show how paintings come to life and the different layers required, I have decided to start documenting the process of painting. I am not confident that this is a good thing to do, and I am not happy with the visual result nor with the method. I’ll continue investigating, but you comments and support might help in that task.
I have to say, now that I look at the video and think about it, I wonder if it’s not better just to show the end result; I feel like a little a bit of the magic has vanished (if there was any).
Yellow Frog by Tany, 2012, Oil on canvas, 80x100cm
Le fruit d’une collaboration entre Alexis Gambis et Tany, à Paris l’été dernier a donné lieu à un moyen métrage: Le dernier été des sciences. Le film étudie la psychologie d’un scientifique new-yorkais qui cherche des réponses à un mal-être professionnel dans son enfance passée à Paris. “Le dernier été des sciences” n’est pas un documentaire.
L’album dont est tirée la bande originale du film est disponible là; l’artiste est David Franck Keller et l’album est “A Long Way From Minneapolis”.
Une équipe de télévision coréenne a fait un reportage sur un bon ami à nous, Yoon Ji-Hiuk, le meilleur joueur de baseball de la décennie en Corée. Là-bas, le baseball est le sport national donc Yoon y jouit d’une aura particulière.
A Paris il se promène incognito, et parle un peu de sa relation au sport et à la perfection. De belles images de Paris, en particulier sur la fin de la vidéo. (On notera qu’il porte pas mal de vêtement de la Pirart Society! Merci Yoon)
Yoon Ji-Hyuk
Élu Meilleur joueur de la décennie par la “Korean Baseball Association” (KBA)
The latest movie by Tany. This short film (7min) was shot in 2009 in Johannesburg. Tany is the writer, director and actor in that part. The movie has been sent to the ISFF of New York 2009 for submission.
The short movie tells the story of John Middle, a engineer that is bored with his life and who slips into an alternative world that comes in part from his imagination and in part by his passion for art.
Short movie by Tany, edited in DVD for submission to the 2009 New York Imagine Science Films Festival. The short movies selected in this year’s festival should be known in September 2009.
“Life, Logic & Blue Risky Shoes”, Written, directed and edited by Tany
This is a short video made by Tany on his exhibition currently held at the Alliance Francaise of Johannesburg – South Africa, until the 6th of December 2008. Following a successful launch on the 27th of November, the 16 oil paintings can be purchased (the ones still available) by contacting Tany. Price list available on request.
Another short movie by Alexis Gambis. A continuity exercise: no break in time or space.
Red lyden uncovers the mind of a troubled boyfriend who sinks into his memories of his recently disappeared girlfriend in his New York midtown apartment. The film takes on an eerie atmosphere reminiscent of David Lynch’s 80’s TWIN PEAK series as we notice a man silhouette staring outside of his window apartment. The colors of faded red and blue set a tone of nostalgia and lust murder; the silence creeps under your screen.
Here is a new video by Alexis – one of our latest DejaVu Production Crew members – and we are really proud to present this short film. This sensual black and white video, animated by Nat King Cole’s irresistible Spanish tune “Quizas, Quizas, Quizas”, was filmed in 2007 in New York.
“Un ange à la maison” is a short film inspired by Wim Wender’s “Ailes du desir” (Sky over Berlin) and especially the scene of the two angels – Damiel et Cassiel – at the library. An angel decides to entertain his dull morning routine with a séance of camouflage as he changes appearances in his basement flat while performing his morning chores.
Ali and Tany have joined forces to produce the first DejaVu Production video. Tany wrote the script and filmed the scenes in London, then Ali created the music in Paris using footage. The result is an original and unexpected work of art and short entertainment.
