Artists reflect and mirror our culture back to society's past, present, and future.
Bill Morrison has been referred to as a Film Archeologist. Besides being a creative master artist of his craft, he is a sort of visionary, capturing the past in his archival films, enabling us to consider our present and future.
After listening to Bill Morrison speak about his latest film Frozen Time this morning and watching the video of him talk about his work gave me a glimpse into a great artist, with a deep sense of integrity, and what I would say is very close to a spiritual philosophy even though he doesn't explicitly state this during his interviews.
"Morrison’s movies feel like
half-remembered reveries formed from memories you can no longer
consciously recall. Hovering at the intersection of reappropriation,
preservation, history, music, and art, any one of his works will haunt
you for the rest of your life. Dawson City: Frozen Time is no exception."
