Has neoliberal capitalism locked down social experience? Are our seemingly subjective desires, our identities, pre-packaged by dominating social structures?
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.

Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
