Film Lens
The Suppliant is a short film created by Beavers, filmed in 2003 in a Brooklyn Heights apartment. The film focuses on a small Greek statue, capturing its presence as it interacts with changing light throughout the day. The imagery is interwoven with views of the East River and the Manhattan Bridge, creating a visual dialogue between the statue and its urban surroundings.
Completed in 2010, the film serves as a meditative elegy for Beavers' friend Jacques Dehornois. The combination of the statue and the New York City landscape invites viewers to reflect on themes of memory and loss, as well as the passage of time as represented by the shifting light.
