Dek Unu Magazine - Walter Ungerer

The career of American media artist, Walter Ungerer, began when he entered the graphic arts program at Pratt Institute in 1954. He finished his MFA at Columbia in 1960 and was associated with the underground film movement in New York City through the socially and intellectually turbulent Sixties. Now in the seventh decade of is practice, he has built a body of imaginative, thought-provoking work by relying on intuition, playful ex- perimentation, scholarship, and diligence. Like all other experimental film, Ungerer’s works depart, sometimes widely, from familiar narrative movie grammar; “stories” are told indirectly, in abstract mixtures of photography, sound (both planned and found), choreography, and always-malleable time.
