Grace Schwindt - Tenant

About

Collective are premiering Grace Schwindt's new film, Tenant. Tenant takes an interview as a starting point that the artist conducted with her grandparents. It tells the story of a woman who rented a room in their home during the Second World War and who turned out to be a friend of Vladimir Lenin. From this interview, the artist developed a fictional dialogue script for the film. Using minimal theatrical sets, the artist invades these sets with dancers and together they carry out a complex choreography while speaking the dialogue. They wear costumes that disrupt and challenge the norms of the environment. Tenant was commissioned by FLAMIN Productions and co-produced by CITY PROJECTS with support from COLLECTIVE.
