Blue Trapezium - 'teaser'
‘Blue Trapezium’ taps on a spacial analogy which draws from the peculiar location of the brain in every human body. We often speak of knowledge as a light, but the locus and engine of all understanding resides in the dark enclosed space of a skull. From that space, the physical and mental actions (and their results) of any individual, are generated. Our intention is to produce an experimental short film/video installation that explores and meditates on the idiosyncratic textures of perception, assimilation, memory, and the permeability of the self in relation to society. The narratives in ‘Blue Trapezium’ are set in a nowhere place. This setting evokes a brave new world informed by the discoveries of neuroscience and the quickly evolving “collisions” that occur in our networks. It is an elastic space characterised by the dynamics of deconstruction - a fragmented, endlessly shifting context. The characters inhabiting this environment find themselves transitioning between identities even as they draw towards a possible unitary centre, the genesis of a new collective consciousness. Their interactions reflect the energies of neutrons inside the brain, creating new pathways that are strengthened through repeated use, eliminating pathways that prove to be irrelevant.
