"Smoking Moon"
Reading Room
David Austen’s much-anticipated first film ‘Smoking Moon’ is witty also desperately sad and affecting. An ancient crescent moon hangs in a black void smoking a cigarette. It is at the same time a trick with light, a self portrait and a recording of a performance. Often unashamedly nostalgic, his work speaks of fragility and longing. caption: Smoking Moon, 2006, courtesy of the artist.
