Ken and Flo Jacobs

Film casino, Wien

Nervous Magic Lantern Performance. The New York-based experimental filmmaker and 'cinematic performer' Ken Jacobs (b. Brooklyn 1933) ranks with Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger, Stan Brakhage, Jack Smith, and Jonas Mekas as one of the pioneers of the New American Cinema of the 1960s and 1970s. With the Nervous Magic Lantern system, which he developed in 2000, his work came to verge on abstraction: he creates abstract three-dimensional figures with nothing but the play of light and shadow. This technique represents Jacobs's attempt to come as close as possible to the essence of film and evoke new sensory impressions while eschewing existing imagery.
