Graham Ellard & Stephen Johnstone
Biography
Graham Ellard and Stephen Johnstone have worked collaboratively since 1993. Their work revolves around the craft and skill of 16mm filmmaking and emphasises the material particularity of film - its slowness, its unique colour palette and extraordinary subtlety of tonal range. Often combined with archive material, drawings, models and studio recreations, their recent films have become increasingly concerned with the hand, the physical manipulation of materials and the activities of ‘making’. At the centre of their films is a concern with the altered forms of attention, and the resulting intensity of looking, that comes from using a lens to frame and magnify details and capture fleeting atmospheric effects. Since 1993 their work has been shown internationally, including group exhibitions at Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Tramway, Glasgow; MoMA, Sydney; Tate Liverpool; Setouchi Triennale, Japan; Filmhuis, Den Haag. Solo exhibitions include: The Weston Studios, The Royal Academy of Art,…
