FILMMAKER AS ARCHAEOLOGIST

Conversation with Kaori Oda

"I am interested in people, which for me means being interested in the traces they have left behind in various spaces and the memories they are holding onto. I am not always able to see these remnants physically even when there is enough light, but I do try to capture them....I love making portraits and constantly looking forward to what I can capture about who a particular person is, or who we are as humans by filming people directly as well as their absence."

BEYOND THE VISIBLE

Conversation with Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili

"This sense of experimentation with the medium, with the narrative, is in my blood you could say. I do work spontaneously and attempt to invite as much improvisation as possible into the process. However, working with the large format camera is burdensome, it takes much concentration and time. It forces me to slow down and as I work, I go into an almost trance-like state, where I visually meditate on the object that I am photographing."

A PROXIMITY TO WILDNESS

Conversation with Annika Larsson

"Perhaps the throbbing of laughter across organisms, bodies, and technologies can help us understand how unstable and inhuman we actually are, that we are neither outside the world nor free (to participate or laugh when we decide to), but rather that we are interconnected with everything around us and inside us."
