About
A collaboration between the curatorial collective anorak (Lukas Ludwig and Johanna Markert) and the experimental music duo Ora Clementi (crys cole and James Rushford), Finite Eyes brings together live-performance, pre-recorded sound, and moving image in an evening exploring the emotive pull and mobilising force of utopian visions.
In this new collaboration with anorak, cole and Rushford return to central questions surrounding interpretation, the function of memory, and sound within both listener and performer, merging curatorial and compositional techniques. A bespoke setting designed by anorak forms the environment for three new music sets, which are put in dialogue with film and sound works by various artists, reflecting on how seemingly empirical information is manipulated and transformed through the interplay of speech, voice-over and moving image.
Teetering on the borderline where the ephemeral realm of the imaginary converges with situated experiences, Finite Eyes raises questions about how utopian visions are informed by collective phantasies that in turn shape perceptions, memories, and imagined futures.
