Research, Video Artist: Callum Cooper


Paradoxical Plane (Excerpt) from Callum Cooper on Vimeo.

Full Circle from Callum Cooper on Vimeo.

Callum Cooper is an artist from London. He distinguishes between artist and filmmaker - and the video "Full Circle" is actually for a fashion label - but I find it interesting that there are relationships between his sculptures and his videos. The motion of the camera is really enticing visually and the way one views spaces and plane, especially in "Paradoxical Plane." He shows different points of view in a way that really has you questioning, how did he shoot this video? how much of it is edited? It also gives you the notion of going in 360.
