ROBERT FILLIOU: ASSEMBLAGE DU FILM DIY a Hybrid Cinematic Sculpture by Emily M. Harris & John Dileva Halpern, of I.C.A.I.
Like Filliou, Harris and Dileva Halpern reify the creative process in ways that are at once social and metaphysical. ROBERT FILLIOU is a hybrid cinematic sculpture/installation, an immersive assemblage of a film in-progress that echoes Filliou’s bricolage DIY techniques. With this project, Harris and Dileva Halpern are undertaking a welcome salvage operation—mining the life’s work of one of modern art history’s most luminous artists.

Rather than suturing all the component materials of the film at the event, Robert Filliou Assemblage du Film – DIY is an intentional “destruction of a film in progress” featuring 10 monitors and projections, games, songs, and artworks by the artist.

On March 1st and 2nd, 2024, together with the assistance of 22 collaborators, Emily Marie Harris and John Dileva Halpern, with the cooperation of Peter Freeman Inc., and hosts Emily Harvey Foundation, completed the first iteration of RFADFDIY, in New York.
Harris/Halpern will activate a Kickstarter Campaign, in the near future, for further fundraising.
They hope you will join them.
