The Shadow of the Dome of Pleasure
Sep 04, 2015 - Oct 10, 2015
The works in this exhibition bind poetic and filmic languages to construct dramatic narratives that consider writing, speech and gesture within moving image and its theatrical antecedents. In different tones and directions these video and film works address contemporary desire – most significantly the desires for identity, knowledge and communication and the complications that arise from these. The Shadow of the Dome of Pleasure brings together contemporary video work in an exhibition space designed and built to extrapolate and intensify the architectures and imaginaries of the cinema and the theatre. The exhibition space functions somewhere between a stage and a green room; a labyrinth and a sensorium. The works in this exhibition are sexually loaded, hysterical and existentially anguished, producing, en masse and in harmony with their setting, an immersive and exhausting world.
