BEN SEELEY – YELLOW FLY

Posted on 2013-07-08

Ben Seeley’s practice is rooted in an exploration and celebration of photography’s limitations. He is interested in the indexical nature of the medium and its inherent bond with reality. Seeley’s photographic series’ are carefully edited, sequenced and titled in order to complicate, contradict or undercut first impressions, quietly revealing an idea of the environment or context in which they were made.

The notion of “place” seems more fraught than is commonly supposed; this is not just the static relation of place and habitation, but rather the dynamic interplay of varied forces. With his series Yellow Fly, Ben Seeley is attempting to describe the unconscious dimensions of architectural space as a social process, one perhaps outwardly defined by use, but not made wholly comprehensible by it either. The result is an intriguing group of urban landscapes, which combines a reserved, even austere formality with a distinct undercurrent of psychological estrangement.

FRUITVALE STATION

Posted on 2013-07-08

This is the true story of Oscar, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of December 31, 2008 and feels something in the air. Not sure what it is, he takes it as a sign to get a head start on his resolutions: being a better son to his mother, whose birthday falls on New Year’s Eve, being a better partner to his girlfriend, who he hasn’t been completely honest with as of late, and being a better father to T, their beautiful 4 year old daughter.

He starts out well, but as the day goes on, he realizes that change is not going to come easy. He crosses paths with friends, family, and strangers, each exchange showing us that there is much more to Oscar than meets the eye. But it would be his final encounter of the day, with police officers at the Fruitvale BART station that would shake the Bay Area to its very core, and cause the entire nation to be witnesses to the story of Oscar Grant.

PACIFIC RIM

Posted on 2013-07-08

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge.

But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes, a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi), who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past.
