Project description

The Sun Burns An Image Into My Eye


Logline: Shannon’s two channel video installation, The Sun Burns An Image Into My Eye, asks, are we permeable? Are the boundaries that separate us less clear than we think? The installation invites viewers to look over the 'table' and gaze out a 'window' to look closely at the transformative cycles meandering through mundane life—of baking, gardening, mushrooms decomposing dead animals, a leaky shower—to look for resonance, insight, and meaning.

Can we reach across distances—chemical, geographical, emotional, generational, spiritual—through preserved flowers, photographs, and memories—through what remains?

Project: Parasite by Proxy
Logline: Aitan's documentary Parasite by Proxy explores the Crypto Jews of Mashhad. Marginalised in Persia, some migrated to Palestine. Eventually they had a majority status as Jews - the guest became the host. The filmmaker integrates this inherited history and identity -victim/benefactor, host/parasite. You are invited to feed on the work in this two-channel film installation.
Artist Bio: Aitan Ebrahimoff (1991) is an artist filmmaker based in Amsterdam. His short films combine speculation, documentary and science fiction. With a media design practice he blurs the line between video art and cinema, building hybrid realities with human and non-human actors.
Research and writing are important tools in his process, whereby scripts are used to structure associative narrative elements. Whether factual or fantasy, his films blend genres and incoporate cultural observations which are rooted in reality.

QUESTIONS

For Leslie and Simon

  • Poster: is the 500 euro budget for design and printing?
  • When do the venues need our texts, poster, and tech riders?
  • Does the school cover the rental costs of projectors and screens and monitors, or does that come out of our individual 750 euro grad show budgets? They are expensive...
  • When do we need to put in our reservations with MTS? Wilco said if we wanted a vinyl screen, we needed to put in the request already by 30th of May...
  • What is the new paperwork we need to fill out for mentors

For Florian and Wilco

  • When can we visit the TENT basement to look at furniture
