Brownian Motion is an exhibition of 16mm film works by experimental filmmaker Nicky Hamlyn, both produced in 2015.
The 16mm film Smoke (B&W, silent, 20 seconds, 16mm, 2015) features a single shot of a burning cigarette. Hamlyn filmed the object in extreme close-up at a rate of four frames per second, thus speeding up the burning process to six- times normal speed.
Gasometers (Colour and B&W, silent, 14mins, 16mm, 2015): in a series of single time-lapse shots, Hamlyn observes gas holders in his North London neighbourhood and the changes in atmospheric, weather related and industrial conditions. Gasometers were mostly built in the 19th century and have been decommissioned for several years. They are now being demolished apart from a handful of listed examples and have become a symbol for the rapid changes in the structure of our urban environment.
Brownian Motion is the second installment of recent work, after Nicky Hamlyn's exhibition Zoetrope at London Gallery West, in March 2015. The London show presented his recent moiré pattern videos for the first time to a wider audience.
On the occasion of Brownian Motion at ReVoir, a DVD will be launched bringing most of Nicky Hamlyn's Moiré Pattern videos together for the first time.
