Flesh of the World (2021) by Elvo Axt (*1993, Kazakhstan) is a cinematic requiem for querness, loneliness and loss. Set against the backdrop of flaring fascism, the film follows a mysterious vampire as she struggles with the shadows of a marginalized suburban environment. Inspired by philosopher Alison Landsberg's work on "prosthetic memory", Flesh of the World questions our perception of truth.
We will also be showing three video works by Julie Becker (*1972 - †2016, USA), which will be presented by art critic and author Sabrina Tarasoff (*1991, Finland) and complemented by a reading by Elvo Axt. The works of Julie Becker are generously made available to us by the Greene Naftali Gallery.
