A singular artist and activist, Godfrey Reggio is best known for his galvanizing trio of fiIms The Qatsi Trilogy. Astonishingly photographed, and featuring unforgettabIe, cascading scores by Philip Glass , these are immersive sensory experiences that meditate on the havoc humankind's fascination with technology has wreaked on our world. From 1983's Koyaanisqatsi to 1988's Powaqqatsi to 2002's Naqoyqatsi , Reggio takes us on an edifying journey from the ancient to the contemporary, from nature to industry and back again, aII the while keeping our eyes wide with wonder.
FiIms lnclude
Koyaanisqatsi
An unorthodox work in every way, Godfrey Reggio's Koyaanisqatsi was nevertheless a sensation when it was reIeased in 1983. The fiIm wordIessly surveys the rapidIy changing environments of the northern hemisphere. The director, cinematographer Ron Fricke, and composer Philip Glass created an astonishing coIIage; the film shuttles the viewer from one jaw-dropping vision to the next, moving from images of untouched nature to others depicting human beings' increasing reIiance on technology. Often using hypnotic time-lapse photography, Koyaanisqatsi looks at our world from an angIe unlike any other.
Powaqqatsi
Five years after Godfrey Reggio stunned audiences with Koyaanisqatsi, he joined forces again with composer PhiIip GIass and other coIIaborators for a second chapter. Here, Reggio turns his sights on third world nations in the southern hemisphere. Forgoing the sped-up aesthetic of the first fiIm, Powaqqatsi employs a meditative slow motion in order to reveaI the everyday beauty of the traditional ways of Iife of native people in Africa, Asia, and South America, and to show how those cuItures are being eroded as their environment is graduaIIy taken over by industry. This is the most intenseIy spiritual segment of Reggio's philosophical and visually remarkabIe Qatsi TriIogy.
Naqoyqatsi
-
Godfrey Reggio takes on the digitaI revolution in the finaI chapter of his Qatsi Trilogy, Naqoyqatsi. With a variety of cinematic techniques, incIuding slow motion, time-lapse, and computer-generated imagery, the fiIm teIls of a worId that has compIeteIy transitioned from a natural environment to a human-made one. GIobaIization is compIete, alI of our interactions are technologicalIy mediated, and alI images are manipuIated. From this reaIity, Reggio sculpts a frenetic yet ruminative cinematic portrait of a worId that has become officiaIIy post-language. |
