Le lundi 10 mars – 19h

To celebrate the release of its latest issue, Kaleidscope Press invites curator Shama Khanna to present a screening around the theme of the voiceover:

With the shift from mass media television programming to the personal viewing space of laptops and mobile devices, the didactic exposition of the voiceover is overcome by the intimacy of one-to-one feedback. The image is no longer “of” something, instead it is contingent, observed for what it might do over time. Working within the limits of its flat representation, emotion is externalised through moments of formal synchronicity and dissonance between the image and sound, resounding in the physical space in which the viewer encounters the work. While acknowledging the flatness of the screen and the hollowness of the representation, the work registers above the surface, rather than through meaning, or truth, hidden beneath.
