Innovative Curatorial Projects – Paris / SingaporeSolomon Nagler
*Winnipeg, Canada. Lives and works in Halifax, Canada.
Working on the borders of narration and abstraction, Solomon Nagler’s films invite us to explore the inner-selves of the characters he presents. Landscapes and symbols are continually mixed up, raising questions of identity and internal memories. It seems as though, removed from the smooth surfaces of beings, we can touch their true selves.

Within the mystical spaces of Judaic self-doubt falls a dreaming painter from the fallen Polish city of Lodz. A million murdered spirits bring him into a world of faded photographs and stone angels.
