Dreaming in abstraction with Christine Lucy Latimer ... you can grab Fragile Systems today at www.blackzero.ca.

Available now from Black Zero! The films and videos of Christine Lucy Latimer defy their containers: they reveal the fragile systems underlying media, press the boundaries of image-making machines, and embrace the faults and frailties of vision. Almost all of Latimer’s work is silent, but nothing is truly silent: Latimer’s images recall the hums, tweets and mechanical moans of the technology with which she made them. Her work began long after most of the formats she employs had become obsolete. Refusing the universal nostalgia of the antique camera and the antique image, Latimer’s works are undeniably present-facing and playfully disobedient, ethereal, and abstract. Supremely self-conscious yet mystical, they are seances that draw out the ghosts in the machine. This disc collects 17 of Latimer's projects, spanning 2002 to 2021. Mosaic (2002) Ghostmeat (2003) The Bridge View (2003) Over {Past:Future} Sight (2006-07) (Just Beyond the Screen) The Universe - As We Know It - is Ending (2008) Focus (2009) Fruit Flies (2010) The Pool (2011) The Magik Iffektor (2011) Nationtime (2013) Lines Postfixal (2013) Jane's Birthday (2013) Physics and Metaphysics in Modern Photography (2014) C2013 (2014) Still Feeling Blue about Colour Separation (2015) House Pieces (2017) Tender (2021) First pressing, limited edition of 1000. 2002-2021 / 61 minutes / b&w/colour / various AR SPECIAL FEATURES - Digital masters approved by artist Christine Lucy Latimer - Dreaming in Abstraction, a new interview with Christine Lucy Latimer - 14 additional project-specific interviews, throughout the disc - Fragile Systems, a video essay by Stephen Broomer - Select audio commentaries with the artist and her family - Liner notes by artist and curator Meganelizabeth Diamond
