Apple Pie

Shot on 16mm celluloid across parts of New Zealand and Samoa interdisciplinary artist Sam Hamiltons tenpart experimental magnum opus makes thoughtprovoking 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 Pies 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 Schiels dry functional narration brings a network of ideas about our existence into focus while Hamiltons visual tableaux as an extension of his multifaceted practice veer imaginatively between psychedelic imagery and performance art
