If we look at the history of analogue cinema, of cinema projected from film, perhaps we can take the question of vertigo as a red thread.
An afternoon full of ideas, thoughts, and lectures about dizziness and togetherness.
I think in every novel lies the risk of failure because every novel is made up of language
The series focuses, in feature films and short films or with video and performance, on future concepts beyond apocalyptic catastrophes or technical utopias that develop positive action patterns of social and economic coexistence.
The process of slipping into dizzying freefall, of sliding into uncertainty, becoming stuck, losing one’s way, giving up are as much actions as occurrences, both active and passive. Dizziness is a midway state at the point where everything and nothing seems possible, where certainty and uncertainty are in superposition, marked by an increasing loss of control.
My talk explains how performance work inhabits a liminal space that blurs the boundaries between art and philosophy, art and life, self and other, intelligence and madness.
