A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
A short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.

A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.

Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
