Storyline

Shot on 16mm celluloid across parts of New Zealand and Samoa, interdisciplinary artist Sam Hamilton’s ten-part experimental magnum opus makes thought-provoking connections between life on Earth and the cosmos, and, ultimately, art and science. Structured around the ten most significant celestial bodies of the Milky Way, Apple Pie’s inquiry begins with the furthest point in our solar system, Pluto, as a lens back towards our home planet and the ‘mechanisms by which certain aspects of scientific knowledge are digested, appropriated and subsequently manifest within the general human complex’. Christopher Francis Schiel’s dry, functional narration brings a network of ideas about our existence into focus, while Hamilton’s visual tableaux, as an extension of his multifaceted practice, veer imaginatively between psychedelic imagery and performance art.

Who else would mix Carl Sagan, David Attenborough and Kenny G in one show?

    Manufacturing Connections between All Living Things with Sam Hamiltons Standard Candles

    Standard Candles, a multimedia exhibition by Sam Hamilton, explores the nature of time, sound, composition and relativity, transporting viewers into a visual and auditory space not quite of this era or dimension. Hamiltons pieces exhibited in Standard Candles are a fusion of many contemporary art forms, combining film and video, sculpture, visual storytelling, sound, montage, and performance art, engendering an exhibit that requires multi-sensory and multi-dimensional involvement. Through continuous loops and montage style video pieces created using manual film (super 8 and 1...
