A Performance of Space

“A Performance of Space”, a selection of videos dealing with space, dreams, and desire.
More concretely they present a zooming into performances in different spaces: lost landscapes, desolate city border zones, desolate city centers, spaces left by humans or fictional spaces filled by individuals.
7 films made by 7 artists coming from all different cities such as NY, Berlin, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hongkong, Sao Paolo, who share an interest in the “none-spaces” of the places we take for granted as being unspecified by virtue of them being where we are, as opposed to the quotidian like Alexander Platz or the Great Wall of China.

“A Performance of Space” will be screened in Night On Earth Helsinki
