Outside event: 5:00 - 17:30 Matters of Being at the artist-run community platform iii in the Hague. The event takes place with Bao Dachen, Ange Neveu, Soyun Park and Alice dos Reis.
Dachen Bao graduated from Lens-based Media in 2022. This is a nice opportunity for your students to see what a recent graduate is up to, as a concluding conversation with the artists is part of the event.
It would be nice if you could share this email with your students.
Thank you in advance and have a nice day!

Matters of Being is a filmscreening series where artists and independent filmmakers screen and discuss their works with each other and the audience.
This Matters of Being edition investigates (human) desires and the imprint they make on the ambiguous zones we humans move through and inhabit. Ange Neveu’s performance-lecture May Your Eyes Never Look Away, May Your Genitals Always Be Lubricated (2022) zooms in on the image-driven obsession of the pornographic production machinery that wants to animate pandas to propagate. Bao Dachen ’s Residual Light / Beneath the Floating Land (2022) takes us on a journey in which we gaze upon the daily landscape of a Chinese riverbank. This is guided by a narration adapted from historical diary entries from the 19th-century British merchant-adventurer Mr. and Mrs. Archibald Little. Soyun Park’s Wunderkammer 10.0 (2021), co-directed with Yelim Ki and Inwoo Jung, is dealing with the problems inherent to technology driven societies: when the artificial intelligence Wunderkammer runs into the limitations of data accessibility it starts to dig into a long-expired travel blog it found on the Internet. Alice dos Reis’ See You Later Space Island (2022) pulls us back into our current times, speculating on the (false) hope that space exploration can bring and reflecting on how we, as humans, connect with one another and our environment.
After the screening of the individual works, Nele Brökelmann will moderate a conversation between the artists and the audience. Bao Dachen, Ange Neveu and Soyun Park will be present during the event, Alice dos Reis will be joining the conversation remotely.
