Three days before dunkwun, a strong contender for Best Director on Sunday, hits the TheAcademy red carpet, he hit up his friend AlexPrager for a chat about psychic prophecies and his EEAO-inspired Oscars look.
KWAN: They reached out to us and we couldn’t say no because it was such a cool opportunity. But then the other directors they reached out to were Steven Spielberg and Todd Field. [Laughs]KWAN: I know, but also definitely influenced by your style as well.
KWAN: I went to your showing in Chelsea, it feels like a couple weeks ago. And one of the pictures that they had up displayed was one that is in. It’s the one with the lady who’s falling from the sky. And there’s this one detail that I wanted to ask you a question about it because it has to do with this. It’s, which has such gorgeous colors. But the thing that I love is there’s a Band-Aid on one of her legs. Because there’s the defined, formal image of what a thing is supposed to be.
PRAGER: I’m curious, how much improv plays into your work? Because I feel like everything has to be so meticulously planned for all the stunts and everything that you’re coordinating all the time. KWAN: Oh my god. Yeah. I mean, I felt it really strongly when we were first doing music videos. And even still, we found some success early on. And within three or four, I could feel myself worrying, “Have I codified a brand or a voice too quickly? How do I break out of it?” Sometimes that impulse will be, “Let’s go against type, let’s go against expectations.” But then you can swing too far the other direction and it doesn’t feel like you.
PRAGER: I guess we just have to trust what we love, because we’re always evolving. We’re always exposed to new challenges and new questions. So, as long as we’re honest about what those questions are and we put it into our work then we just have to trust that it’s going to represent who we are in a new stage in our lives each time. I have to make art partially because it’s the only time I feel like I am the best version of who I am. I feel almost invincible.
PRAGER: God, that’s a good question. I didn’t go to any of the fairs recently. I’ve just been looking at the same old stuff that I love. I mean, my sister just had a show,PRAGER: In Los Angeles. So, of course, I’ve got to mention that. She’s doing these huge textured oil paintings of people in orchards where they’ve become bouquets of flowers.PRAGER: I think we probably need to wrap it up soon.
