Creativity
Luke Fowler creates cinematic collages , moving away from traditional approaches to creating documentaries and biographies. The artist's works are often devoted to the study of counterculture , Fowler created a series of films dedicated to radical thinkers.
At the center of the film Pilgrimage from Scattered Points (2006) is the English composer Cornelius Cardew , whose avant-garde orchestra is consistent with the view that "anyone can play." Using archival and footage materials, interviews and interpretations of the original texts, Fowler studies the contradictions and conflicts within the orchestra. There is a moment in the film when a former member of the Scratch Orchestra musical group (existed from 1968 to 1973) recalls how Cornelius Cardew told him that he could not sing correctly, and admits that he never sang after these words. Fowler immediately afterwards proceeds to another interview, in which another employee says that Cardew constantly encouraged uneducated musicians. Like previous films - What You See is Where You're At (2001) and The Way Out (2003), the artist’s project is not documentary in the usual sense of the word.
What You See is Where You're At (2001) - about the experimental community of young people that psychiatrist R. D. Laing arranged at Kingsley Hall in the 1960s. Laing interpreted mental disturbances and insanity as the healing process of individuals in conflict with society. The Way Out (2003) - portrait of the mysterious musician and homosexual , Xentos Jones (Xentos Jones).
Fowler's films are often associated with British 1950s free movies, whose aesthetics were dictated by the decision to interact with the reality of British society. Fowler uses similar impressionistic sounds and montages, avoids behind-the-scenes comments and narrative sequences. Also in style and content, they resemble films distributed in the 1970s and 1980s about musicians and experimental communities .
In 2008, Fowler won the Jarman Award for filmmakers. In 2012, he was shortlisted for the Turner Prize for his personal exhibition in Edinburgh , but he did not receive the prize [2] .
