Arjuna Neuman, artist, filmmaker and writer, and Denise Ferreira da Silva, philosopher and academic, study across disciplines – calling on quantum mechanics to polyrhythms, from Tarkovsky to Hype Williams, from heat to Anaximander, in order to speculate how to exist otherwise as humans in the world.
Their works share strong critical notes, experimental approach and collaborative research on certain global issues such as migration, colonization, resource extraction, and environmental thinking. Methodologically speaking, Neuman and Ferreira da Silva are interested in the politics and poetics of the moving image, focusing on the tensions between what is seen and remains opaque, what seems solid but is in transition.
In August and as part of Nature and State SKBB launches a new format: KREISLAUF.
The German expression KREISLAUF brings meanings of circulation, cycle, and circuit in relation to moving images and the display of them as a loop in an exhibition context. It also references nature’s cycle, the body’s and the transition of things.
As a series of weekly video programming located in Ersan Mondtag’s installation The Temple, KREISLAUF focuses a highly curated selection on geographies of transition, geo-subjective perspectives on global issues such as climate change, drought and drainage, with local references and glocal sensitivity. Within its focuses and critical lenses, KREISLAUF investigates forms and storytelling mostly through non-European, Asian Pacific and transnational connections and artistic perspectives on these geopolitical conflicts. Each week will feature a video piece, or two in conversation, unfolding questions from the exhibition.
