double bill #35
curated by Ben Russell
In this double bill of analogue films, process is offered as a means to document time-space, to create a record of a site that will necessarily outlast the site itself. Two sides of the same coin: L’Eye as the chemical green future of the verdant la friche Josaphat featured in underneath it flickers, and vice versa.
