expanded cinema live performance

2012

The project was commissioned by the “For Real” Program at the International Film Festival in Rotterdam in January 2012.

100 Meters Behind the Future” is a live film that is being shot, acted, directed, edited, screened, watched and deleted in real time. It’s a film about delay, the expansion of cinema and the paranoia that creeps in when the mash-up of several time zones and realities escapes the logical explanations of the captive audience.
The screening room is the front row of a van in which one or two people are being driven around while following the action in double view – through the windshield of the car and the screen of the device they hold in their hands.

>>> In November 2013 we performed this piece in Dallas as part of the exhibition Co-Recreating Spaces at CentralTrak, Dallas.  Pictures of this event and the report of the driver can be found here
