History
Andrew Noren (born 1943, Santa Fe) has been making moving image art for the past 40 years, and is perhaps cinema's greatest practitioner of light, shadow, visual texture, and velocity. His recent digital work celebrates the primal nature of vision and the mind's construct of duration.
Director
Aberration of starlight: the apparent displacement of a star resulting
from Earth’s orbital motion around the Sun. It depends on the ratio of
Earth’s orbital speed to the speed of light and Earth’s direction of
motion and thus provides confirmation that the Earth orbits the Sun
and not the reverse.” Britannica Concise Encyclopedia
Director
Energy pictures; mindful kinesis. Light and shadow vigorously conjoin, conjuring delusion of depth and duration, fiction of space and time. The fool’s paradise of the illusory window is savored and shattered and seen for what it is.

“Cinema isn’t materials…it is refined, imaginative seeing…darkness made visible…[it] existed long before modern devices, since the first opening of the first animal eyelid…scene one, take one.... We invent the world as we are seeing it. Anything can happen” (Andrew Noren)

Director
"Intuitive conjuring and orchestration of retinal phantoms, refined by abstraction into music for light and mind. Light, both wave and particle, alive and moving, making shadow and, therefore, time."
Director
Ghost pictures from the "other" world, which is this world. The ghost is in love, at work, at play with bright companions. Flutter of phantoms, trick of light, sleight of the eye. A comedy of mirrors. Love advice from the grave... remember you must die.

Charmed Particles is a physics term... it describes the point at which energy becomes matter, intangible ‘nothing’ becoming, somehow, ‘something.’ What lies at the heart of each atom is nothing... the beast at the heart of the labyrinth... and from that nothing comes the something we call the world. Being emanates from nothing, and vice versa. Oldest question in the world: "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Director
A rhythmic study of materiality and melancholy in human form.

Part II of Andrew Noren's The Adventures of the Exquisite Corpse
Director
A meditation on the winter light flowing through two windows, as it is modulated and transformed by the window curtains blowing in the breeze.
Reveberation detaches a few static shots of a posed portrait to expand them for twenty-three minutes.
Director
In 1968, Noren finished Huge Pupils, a gorgeous, sensuous, sexually outrageous visual study of his daily life, and part I of an ongoing series he would come to call The Adventures of the Exquisite Corpse.
