Perpetual Ends: A film and video program assembled by Colin Palombi

Homeroom at Elastic Arts Foundation
2830 N Milwaukee Ave
Chicago, IL 60618

This program draws from Enduring Ends: A Video Program for End Times, which screened at Lasso Gallery on January the 26th, 2008. Now in its third, and perhaps last incarnation, the show is compiled of shorts that depict the end in many facets. The first half is paranoid, showing visions apocalyptic futures and altered landscapes, while the second half contemplates more personal ends. An underlying theme of the work also comments on the shifting use of technologies used in filmmaking. VHS, Nintendo, and found film are used and prove that they to can endure the end of their time.
