Exhibition Text

Title: 54 BPM

54 BPM brings together cinema, film, and video installation works by 12 lens-based artists.

54 BPM invites you to dive deep into 12 personal narrative approaches. Take time to slow down. Sink into sonic and visual encounters.

Film Still & Logline Request

Please all upload one film still here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wdbKnVsjuRfCBFS7pzE2OmXTxSASeFUG?usp=sharing

Please all write you name followed by your logline as in the examples below.

MELEK

Melek's single channel video work Akota invites the audience into her own miniaturised mythological world. (WIP)

PELLE

In Pelle's [title] we witness two men in their twilight years surrounded by a strange kind of beauty as time slowly passes. This [single channel] video asks: what does the attempt to care look like? [title] is a piece of slow cinema where there's not much talking.

VEERE

Veere's single channel work Silk Stone Stream shows a meandering exploration of grief. Through collage-like still images we learn about a relationship between a grandfather and a granddaughter, and their connection to the piece of land that they call home. A child-like story creates its own symbology.

AITAN

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.

KOTRYNA

Kotryna's film [If I was a Rocket] is a non-linear film essay, merging multiple narratives which investigate personal memory, dreams and geological time. A sonic and visual dwell through memory-space and the mists of time, a dream-like and intimate journey reveals the inner world of the mysterious narrator.

SHANNON

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 stand over a '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?

YUQING

In Yuqing's [medium?] One-bedroom-One, cyberspace is the only place that offers relief and imagination. A "creature" is trapped and must escape. The piece reflects on the social barriers and loneliness of Chinese Gen-Zers in the post-epidemic era through the relationship between a single room and a single character. [Steve to edit]

LUIS

In Hunters' Land is a 20 minute short film by Luis in which you are invited to enter the Jungle, the world of Calais refugees, as seen through the eyes of a volunteer.
