Though his Samstag work provides only an indicator, film-making is integral
to Shane Carn’s objectives. To Carn, film remains conceptually a visual art,
with the added benefit of its complexity and power to engage the viewer. He
cites the Chilean film-maker Raul Ruiz as an example of a visual artist who,
through film, creates a view of reality that is not constructed by narrative.
