SHANE CARN

1/ 1

​To Carn, film remains conceptually a visual art, with the added benefit of its complexity and power to engage the viewer.

Shane Carn

Born 1967, Mt Gambier, South Australia 

Though his Samstag work provides only an indicator, film–making is integral to Shane Carn's objectives. To Carn, film remains conceptually a visual art, with the added benefit of its complexity and power to engage the viewer. He cites the Chilean film–maker Raul Ruiz as an example of a visual artist who, through film, creates a view of reality that is not constructed by narrative.
