2021 · ★ 0.0 (0)

In Amy Cutler’s "Supermoon Variations", a red super-moon is evocatively refracted through lenses and 35mm nature slides. Filmed during lockdown from Cutler’s London balcony, the film captures a night-time performance in which shapes are barely visible, with an immersive soundtrack intensifying glimmers of detail and illusionary perspectives of human scale.

It is general knowledge that the Yanks dropped Little Boy on Hiroshima, but where did the uranium come from that gave it its power? From the Congo, explains this VR experience that takes you to the Shinkolobwe mine where Congolese miners excavate the radiation-rich material without protective equipment. This marks the start of a journey into deeply buried histories: alternatives to the optimistic, post-colonial Western perspectives. Underground proves to be a memory palace of sorts – the various spaces providing contact with history. Grasping objects from that world gives rise to rich collages of archival materials, personal statements, dreams and memories. In this way, the work – a collaboration between historians from various African countries and creative makers – poses the question: what is the true toll of progress?

Poster for How Flowers Never Became A Food Group

2017 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A poetic and fragmented construction of images and text suggests failure and disillusion about romanticism. Intense psychedelic colours characterize images of flowers, as if they were struggling while maintaining a playful tone. Feelings of ambiguity are evoked, oscillating between the notions of the possible and the impossible, as well as attraction and repulsion. The project is an audiovisual collaboration with experimental musician Alain Lefebvre.
