Lot Essay
Jeffrey Blondes (American, born 1956) trained as a painter. With a career that includes over 35 solo exhibitions in galleries around the world, Blondes’ last 10 years have been devoted to making high definition films ranging in length (to date) from 9 to 76 hours. The preoccupation of these films is the point at which landscape and time meet. Most recently, he has started to publish these films as prints, taking frames at pre-arranged intervals from the films to create versions, which, when placed consecutively on paper, offer an altogether different, almost abstracted, reading of the same time sequence.
