Just About Now ‘Through the use of blur, Lis Rhodes in Just About Now (1993), reproduced on an Arts Council publicity postcard, abstracts the video image in a painterly fashion. Video as a palette of shape, form and colour is powerfully translated.’– Esther Johnson

In the Kettle ‘When watching In the Kettle which focuses on the topical subject of protest, then one may feel that Rhodes is only concerned with finding a way to get a message across, but her work has a visual richness that gives it another dimension. The use of bold compositions in her photographs which fade into each other creates a hypnotic, submerged state, as if she is constructing a dream – a mixture of real experience, news events, fantasies and fears.’ – Paul Hardman

Dissonance and Disturban... ‘Dissonance and Disturbance, a two-screen installation, brings together Cold Draft (1988) and two films partly shot amid recent protests in London.The narration to the largely abstract Cold Draft is a poetic critique of Eighties economics, which gains a new potency through being shown alongside Rhodes’s video-camera shots from within police kettles as protests raged against the causes and effects of the economic crisis. She also tells the story of a flour mill in Gaza bombed by the Israeli military. Over the years, Rhodes has shifted from abstraction to near-documentary as her anger at governments becomes palpable. Her work is all the more compelling because her eloquence with film matches her political convictions.’ – Ben Luke

McCarthy "McCarthy" chronicles the rise and fall of Joseph McCarthy, the Wisconsin senator who came to power after a stunning victory in an election no one thought he could win. Once in office, he declared that there was a vast conspiracy threatening America — emanating not from a rival superpower, but from within. Free of restraint or oversight, he conducted a crusade against those he accused of being enemies of the state, a chilling campaign marked by groundless accusations, bullying intimidation, grandiose showmanship and cruel victimization. With lawyer Roy Cohn at his side, he belittled critics, spinning a web of lies and distortions while spreading fear and confusion. After years in the headlines, he was brought down by his own excesses and overreach. But his name lives on linked to the modern-day witch hunt we call “McCarthyism.”

PARASO XIBALBA - Uma Via... Guatemala - which means country of many trees. In the so-called "everlasting spring," the adventure boasts an extraordinary climb and view of the Fuego volcano, a visit to the Mayan city Tikal, a tarantula encounter ... among many, many other amazing stories and experiences that this country - and people - they provided us. "Paraíso Xibalba" is the second Maduco Beleza travel documentary in partnership with Landescape, directed and produced by Marco Almeida, voiceover and presentation by Rui Unas and as travel leader João Amorim.

Odchzen... You are disappearing from me and there is emptiness before my eyes. Where there is nothing, only a gap between us. Emptiness, and engraved in it – "we remember." You were so beautifully pure. I miss you. Where are you? Gratitude! If only I could see you more often. Life would be so much better. Where are you? Sincerity! Day and night, I dread the moment when I will finally lose myself. Where are you? Respect! I will not let you go, and deep down I hope that perhaps you have not all died out.
