Trailer: James Florio at Tippet Rise

Large-format film photographer James Florio – Tippet Rise Art Center’s longtime collaborator and artist-in-residence – presents a screening of the film James Florio at Tippet Rise, followed by a Q&A with Florio and director Jeffrey Peixoto, moderated by architect, editor, and curator Iker Gil on Saturday, August 3 at 4pm. Tickets are available here: tippetrise.org/events/70401

The 17-minute documentary explores the radical landscape of Tippet Rise. Florio originally began to photograph the art pieces but gradually became more and more transfixed with the land itself. Like a cartographer in a silent dream, Florio moves through a stunning landscape, shaped by primeval oceans and eons of time, struggling against the elements to create images of deep expressive power.
