About
On the one hand, the fantasy of plenty, expressed in the medieval myth of ‘The Land of Cockaigne’ serves as a departure for exploring the subversive potential of abundance, affliction and aspiration in selected artists’ moving image works. Rooted in the mundane and reveling in the grotesque masquerade of unfulfilled desire, the Cinema of Cockaigne is a shameless site for excessive imagination. On the other, Cockaigne as an imaginary place of fullness, here becomes a projection that – by means of inversion – reflects back on the shortcomings of personal, social, political transformation.
The Cinema of Cockaigne is presented as part of Chromatic Wednesdays, a bi-weekly event series at Apartment Project that aims to bring together creative thinkers from diverse backgrounds.
