Project Detail

Eyrie

Synopsis

Eyrie documents a visit to commemorative building built by the communist party in Bulgaria. The action taken by the artist at the centre of the work suggests an exploration as a space for play and speculation, displacing the insistent materiality of the site and the reverence of the ruin.

Zabriskie Point (Redacted) Zabriskie Point (Redacted)

Director: Stephen Connolly

Year: 2013

Inspired by a visit to Zabriskie Point – this film re-visits and contemporises Antonioni’s 1970 film of the same name. Aligning with Antonioni's stated intentions – to produce a work as "an idea in landscape" – the film undertakes a programme of visual and social research for the earlier film.

Face, boy, eclipse A Season in Secret

Director: Matthew Berka

Year: 2027

A SEASON IN SECRET brings together material both close at hand and far away. It is a meditation on things glimpsed at a distance and the limits of perception. What lies behind the screen is hidden and may only be hinted at through the language of visible images and sounds. The film takes some of its cues from the Japanese aesthetic concept of Yūgen, described in part by the 15th-century aesthetician Zeami Motokiyo: “...to stand upon the shore and gaze after a boat that disappears behind distant islands.”
