Luke Fowler's work often investigates counterculture. To date he
has made three films each profiling radical thinkers. The work he is showing
in the Triennial, Pilgrimage from
Scattered Points focuses on the English composer Cornelius Cardew,
whose avant-garde orchestra celebrates the view that 'anyone can play'.
By using found footage, first-person interviews, archival materials and
reinterpretations of original texts – Fowler examines the contradictions
and conflicts that developed within the orchestra. His film experiments
with a documentary style to reflect the nature of his subjects and his
own involvement in their representation.
