Unique photographs by Associate Professor of Art Linda Levinson are still getting exposure two years after they were taken.
Levinson shot images during the Temenos screenings of Gregory Markopoulos’s film “Eniaios” in Greece June 29-July 1, 2012. The event marked the third installment of a projected 80-hour cycle of films left completed but unprinted upon the filmmaker’s death in 1992. The films are periodically shown outdoors in the mountains four hours from Athens.
One of her images was recently selected for the cover of P. Adams Sitney’s book, The Cinema of Poetry. It’s not the first time her photos, in color and black and white, have caught the eye of international editors.
Artforum magazine printed one of her Temenos photographs in 2012. Rebekah Rutkoff of City University in New York used many for a 2014 Society for Cinema Studies and Media Conference in Seattle. A portfolio of the works has also appeared in the Millennium Film Journal, No. 59, an international publication for film scholars and enthusiasts.
“I have received a lot of positive feedback about the images,” says Levinson. “I photographed it as if I were participating in the event rather than merely observing it.”
UW-L supported Levinson’s invitation to photograph the Temenos screenings in 2012 as part of an International Development Fund Grant. A year later, she received a College of Liberal Studies Small Grant to edit the exposures.
