Dance
What
Already
Disappeared
Equanimity
This film -shot entirely in the dark-
is its own question, and its own object.
In the West, negative and positive stand as opposites, locked in a duality that threatens to annihilate both if they decide to meet. In the East, the negative is not mere opposition it is complement, synthesis, the silent space that gives form to sound.
But what negative are we speaking of?
Not a shadow, but the hidden face of a bright and colorful previous film, r&sonances.
Do not seek the form
it will arise on its own
Let silence open you
Do not seek the form it will arise on its own Let silence open you
Become
wind beneath the earth
fire without light
Become wind beneath the earth fire without light
Those who listen
with their skin
Will know
Those who listen with their skin Will know
Film the world collapsing within you
dance as if you were already dead
- Fake Ohno
Film the world collapsing within you dance as if you were already dead - Fake Ohno
A film in search of its own Butoh.
Probably the first documentary entirely shot in total darkness using thermal infrared cameras.
A radical exploration of presence, where filming itself becomes dancing.
