Through text, music and editing, Vimala Pons reexamines these images of the consumerist happiness of the Californian middle class and offers a gritty, hallucinatory reading. In her ownway, she haunts the artificiality of situations, putting back everything that the production process has evacuated: irrationality, desire, doubt, neurosis and trauma. Here, the vacuity of the promotional staging becomes the background of a fragile, longing and delirious mankind, in which the narrator’ story, in a maelstrom of inner voices, makes consuming, cruelty, entertainment, joy, narcissism and death drive collide. Somewhere between Lettrist 2.0 cinema and theater of the absurd, Vimala Pons, for a while, quits performance to become a video artist and enter the images as she enters her characters: by breaking in. (Clément Cogitore)

Poster for Private View: Joshua Serafin

2025 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Part-stylised performance film, part-interview feature, this film dives into the “tropical futurist” creation story premised on Filipino pre-colonial identities, myths and artefacts and speculative decolonial fantasies. At the heart of this story lies a “swamp” - a primordial black hole, a portal to nothing and everything - which gives birth to a nonbinary deity. VOID is a divine response to the pain and trauma of the present apocalyptic era, a futuristic body that is also a composite of historical-ancestral imaginaries.
