LaborBerlin is happy to bring S.P.A.C.E. EXPANDED to Paradoks in Leipzig—a program featuring works developed through the S.P.A.C.E. residency (Nov. 2022 – Oct. 2024), initiated by LaborBerlin, an artist-run analog film lab, as part of the SPECTRAL project. This unique European collaboration between six artist-run film labs supports analog projection as an artistic practice, offering resident artist’s studio space, equipment, and access to LaborBerlin’s film lab. At Paradoks, we present an expanded cinema installation that emerged from this intensive, hands-on environment.
Programme:
Devotion – Renata Daguerre, 16mm projector, digital video, analog video, 30′.
A live film performance incorporating projected 16mm and digital footage. In Devotion Renata Daguerre explores joy, beauty, wildness, dance floors and hybrid beings between human and animal. The swan serves as a symbol of grace, protection, rage, migration, loyalty, and family.
Feathers and dancers with feathers. Transitioning their shapes, the Swan becomes a beautiful Raver.
Materials and sensations are assembled in a galactic aquarium – shaped space. The limits between screen – spectator – creator are dissolved. Surrounded by disco balls and immersed into fog, Devotion is an invitation to dance with enchantment and freedom.
