Viktor Alimpiev
Viktor Alimpiev makes films about fundamental human expressions. His characters cluster close together, and sing, yell, tap, hum, tremble or gasp for air. The closer they get to each other, the greater the tension becomes. Some gestures bear a hidden agression, but beautiful faithfulness is dominating.
In the Lowlands, Alimpiev is well-known, and has presented work at the SMAK in Gent (2007) and, recently at Impakt Festival.
In Amsterdam he is screening a new piece, My Absolution (2008), the basis of which was created while artist-in-residence during the Impakt Festival.
