Thus, the Night is a collaborative film with Spektral Quartet. Produced by Four/Ten Media, the film centers around Henri Dutilleux’s 1976 avant-garde string quartet Ainsi la Nuit. Filmed in both nature and cityscapes at dusk, Thus, the Night observes and records the surreal and intricate sounds, patterns, and movements that unfold in light’s fleeting transition to dark.
Filming took place on the edge of the prairie at Ragdale Foundation in Lake Forest, the 55th floor of a Chicago skyscraper, a private residence on Lake Michigan, and my studio in June of 2022.
The film premiered privately in Fall 2023 at the University of Chicago’s Logan Center for the Arts. In partnership with Aspen Film, Thus, the Night premiered publicly at the Isis Theatre in Aspen, CO in March, 2024. View the film online here.
