For decades Caspar Newbolt’s work has been largely found in the form of award-winning international film posters. This new artwork will mark a transition into form of self expression Caspar has studied for years from the sidelines, filmmaking.
This new feature-length film will be called LOW. It will be a scripted, black and white, arthouse project that Caspar will shoot with various artist friends over a month in Berlin. As a visual artist who collaborates daily with different filmmakers and musicians all over the world, the purpose and thesis of this artwork is to examine—by way of popular analogy—what it is to lead an artful life under times of duress.
Set in present-day Berlin LOW tells the story of an American musician called Henri Blake and their German protégé Jasmine Hersch. They will both lead lives clearly but not explicitly parallel to those of David Bowie and Iggy Pop during their time in Berlin 50 years before. The film will echo the politically and personally tumultuous time those 1970s rockstars had in Berlin, with its cold war military border, the Berlin Wall, running through the middle of it.
