Screening: Curated by Nobutaka Aozaki

Screening

Through performance, stop-motion animation, historical archives, storytelling, or scientific research, Screeing uses video mediums to flow into the landscape and challenge human-centered ideology. The 7 films by Akira Ikezoe, Maya Jeffereis, Ayesha Kamal Kahn, Kevin Kelly, Asami Shoji, Yi Yunyi, and Brian Zegeer,  show reconciliation and unification with the natural world, distancing themselves from the human desire to categorize and quantify it.

Going back and forth between micro and macro, past and present, places, the subjects are thrown around by uncontrollable forces that are outside of human intention as if to remind us that we are only a part of a larger universe and aware of the interconnectedness of all things, of conjunctions, of coincidences.

This screening features the video works of Akira Ikezoe, Maya Jeffereis, Ayesha Kamal Kahn, Kevin Kelly, Asami Shoji, Yi Yunyi, and Brian Zegeer and was selected by Monira resident Nobutaka Aozaki.
