David Rimmer
Films and Tapes
February 1, 8, 12, and 22 1996

Vancouver artist David Rimmer’s work is among the most innovative and unique in Canadian film and makes a formidable contribution to film as an art form. His use of different styles– from structural practices in the late 1960s to his latest endeavours –often involves a crossover between film and video. Rimmer explores issues that range from formal concerns raised by the nature of film but the artist’s manipulation of the film material and by the viewing experience of film, to such broader issues as the representation of gender and the nature of representation in general.
