Filmed in remote Cyprus landscape, <em>Chapters<\/em> is a poetic series of meticulously staged scenes with underlying narrative elements of love, longing, afterlife and ritual. The scenes are independent and run in a non-consecutive order, with narrative evoked by the actions of the performers. The static frame of the camera&nbsp;shapes the film as a continuously evolving series of \u2018pictures\u2019 or \u2018tableaux\u2019. The film draws together a spectrum of cultural influences, inspired by myths, ancient poetry, theatre and painting. Highlighting how the construction of the film was informed by her current practice, Epaminonda describes the work as an object that continuously moves \u2013 a sculpture without a fixed form.<\/p>\n<p>The soundtrack to <em>Chapters<\/em> was composed by British sound artists, <em>Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides <\/em>(Kelly Jayne Jones and Pascal Nichols). The artists&nbsp;parallel the methods used by Epaminonda in constructing the film, by piecing together sounds recorded on set with samples they produced using instruments from various eras.<\/p>\n<p>The subsequent rooms act as chambers containing a sparse arrangement of sculptural works, including both found and constructed objects. These relate to the logic of the film, such as its symbolic and formal aspects, yet they are also a continuation of her ongoing series <em>Volumes<\/em>, which began in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Haris Epaminonda was born in Nicosia, Cyprus in 1980, and now lives and works in Berlin. She works across a variety of media from collage to film, multi-layered installation to sculpture.<\/p>\n<p><em>Chapters<\/em> is co-produced by Modern Art Oxford, Kunsthaus Z\u00fcrich, Point Centre for Contemporary Art in Nicosia, and the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":54017,"template":"","event_type":[230],"audience":[],"class_list":["post-54016","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_type-archive","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Haris Epaminonda: Chapters - Modern Art Oxford<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Haris Epaminonda: Chapters - Modern Art Oxford\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Haris Epaminonda\u2019s first major exhibition in the UK centres on the newly commissioned film Chapters, 2013.
