Ryan Trecartin in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist
summary
Early work uses iMovie then After Effects for an off‑label, frame‑by‑frame editing pace; first full script appears in a multi‑linear piece made 2008–2011, and four feature films exist so far as theater screenings, sculptural installations (Venice, MoMA PS1) and web videos. Practice is highly collaborative with costume/props shaping scripts; shoots use multi‑camera setups, energy‑drink‑fuelled night sessions, and mixes live action with animation (Item Falls). Current prototype goal is 360 capture for post‑editing, merging game logic and film editing.
