Since his debut in the 1980s, Lewis Klahr has built a mesmerizing and influential body of work, establishing himself as one of the foremost collage animatorsor, as he prefers, a re-animator. His films explore themes of identity (Altair), childhood (The Pharaohs Belt), sexuality (Pony Glass, Downs Are Feminine), memory (False Aging, Daylight Moon, Engram Sepals), Greek mythology (Lethe, Helen of T, 66), and capitalism (Circumstantial Pleasures). These philosophical explorations are often veiled behind the familiar veneer of mid-20th-century American pop culturedrawing inspiration from film noir, melodrama, crime films, popular music, and comic books.
Working with an eclectic mix of found imageryincluding magazine ads, home movies, contact sheets, pornography, and comic booksalong with layered soundscapes, Klahrs characters drift through fragmented times and spaces, searching for connection and an elusive sense of self.
Despite the allure of vivid pop culture references, Klahrs films resist easy interpretation. His elliptical, dream-like narratives challenge viewers, creating spaces where meaning remains fluid and unresolved. Yet this ambiguity is intentionalKlahr embraces the uncertainty between his work and its audience, inviting exploration over resolution.
In Dreaming a Way (of) Life: The Films of Lewis Klahr, award-winning writer Chris Robinson (The Animation Pimp, Unsung Heroes of Animation, Earmarked for Collision) offers the first full-length study of this prolific and influential collage animator. Through insightful analysis, Robinson unveils the depth and complexity of Klahrs artistic vision, guiding readers into the magic and mystery of his cinematic universe.
