This event has ended.

James Cohan presents an exhibition by Omer Fast featuring the New York premiere of three recent films, 5,000 Feet Is the Best (2011), Continuity (2012), and Spring (2016).

In his work as a filmmaker, Omer Fast defines a new relationship between reality and fiction. He is interested in exploring the construction of narratives, in particular how stories change when told from different perspectives. The works in the exhibition each examine modern conflict through the personal experience of those on the front lines. Fast borrows from traditions of documentary, dramatization and fantasy, manipulating time through the use of repetition, looping, and reenactment to create new and complex structures. All three works use human emotions as stand-ins for the larger socio-political reality of contemporary warfare.
