A kétestés vetítésen olyan rövid
alkotásokat láthatunk, amelyek a mozgókép adta lehetőségekkel élve a
test mozgását, a személyes térélményt, a performativitást
mint időben kiteljesedő folyamatot fogalmazzák meg
A peninsula (in
Latin, literally meaning
"almost island") is a geographical formation consisting of an extension of land from
a larger body, surrounded by water on three
sides. The choice of having this
"almost island" as
a metaphorical backdrop
relates to the initial premise of this project: Everything is (or can be) connected...
The Peninsula is an art film-video anthology that consists of three screenings
within a cinema space and a multi-channel video exhibition. The body of works is drawn together by a series of loose references
and associations relating to artists who communicate a personal sense of space.
Their spaces involve politics, art, society, identity, travel ,
amongst others, and the everyday
via performative gestures, texts and relations. Within the framework of producing works specifically for the film/video platform, The
Peninsula has been designed to cater to presentations
by artists who explore the concepts of performativity as a time-based media. Professing a keen rejection of merely ‘recording’ live performances or treating ‘documents’
as artworks, within The Peninsula artworks utilize image, sound, text and music as
a performative whole. Opting to treat
the medium as a genre of its own
with an understanding of its potentials as a powerful form of (mis)communication.In order to
facilitate feedback on the different
works, and how they can
be read within The Peninsula, we have invited Rodney LaTourelle, a writer and artist from Canada, to participate as writer-in-residence. Over the course of the project, LaTourelle will be examining the works individually and as parts
of the larger grouping(s). The resulting texts will be presented as a parallel
project to the on-site screening of the film/videos.
