Luis Recoder

Recoder’s meta-cinema has propelled him into a kind of semi-stardom of his own. In the last three years, his films and film performances have appeared at the New York Film Festival, the Viennale, the Institute of Contemporary Art in London, and Anthology Film Archives. Whitney Museum curator Chrissie Iles compares Recoder’s films to the work of light sculptor James Turrell: both artists use light to explore the boundaries between the palpable and the insubstantial.
