some recollections of mortality - (originating medium HD Video 8') UK 2012. English.
(subtitled versions available in French and Spanish. text translation available in German.)
Synopsis:
The film explores the presence and absence of the body in relation to contemporary film and popular media cultures.
The body is subjected to a criminal investigation in which the global concerns of the economy are placed on the individual.
The relation between narrative, text and visual imagery is revealed through a portrait of contemporary suburban lifestyle.
The global crisis acts as the 'perfect crime' - everyone is guilty. The film examines how our lifestyles lead us to be complicit in the global perfect crime, a crime in which we are all suspects searching for a witness, an other.
The film was made through a site-specific collaborative process in which the three artists erase the idea of the author to create a fictional subjectivity.
