Adam Frelin - Slowwalker 2010

Adam Frelin: “In many ways my projects are extracted moments taken from a larger story that is never told in its entirety,” Frelin states. “They are moments that describe certain actions (moving, floating, stealing, escaping, disappearing) that are motivated by self-imposed or external forces. The result of both leading and being lead, characters carry out their actions with a strong sense of mission. In my work these activities take place––physically and thematically––at points where the natural world and our constructed world intersect.”

The Faction 2007 (13:17)

In 2007 I was invited by L.A. art organization, Outpost for Contemporary Art, to create a new project in the Ukraine. Having discovered that the Ukrainian president had his own private marching band, I wanted to use them as part of my project. Rather than work with the entire band, I pulled out a faction of members, a brass quintet, that I filmed throughout the capital of Kiev.
