natural Science

Cracking concrete walls of an abandoned film theatre become the canvas for audiovisual exploration of Christopher Fox’s and Ian Duhig’s  “Natural Science”. On one hand, it is a conceptual piece, where the only source of light is a projector stacked on the camera. This device both captures and projects the image. On the other hand, it is a sensual and intuitive reflection of music and poetry. 

As the camera-projector scans the space, the performer emerges in it. The musician, along with the walls, floor, and ceiling, becomes part of the canvas too. The eery bunker-like concrete interior becomes a field of blooming flowers or a busy alley in the city, once the images of the camera-projector take over.

Contemporary artist Lora Kmieliauskaitė plays the violin and sings mesmerizing yet brilliantly simple poems by Ian Duhig. The words, the images, and the music merge into one expressive yet subtle musical film.
