“Suite Ancienne” pioneers a new genre – the reflexive remix. Deutsch appropriates two decades of footage shot by himself and his father to compose  seven structurally rigorous movements loosely patterned after Baroque musical forms. In this process of  “re-collection” Deutsch interrogates images from his past as archival documents, thereby posing questions about authorship and a unitary self.”
