Grey Interiors
Makers: Actress & Actual Objects (2021)
Dates: 25.11, 27.11, 29.11, 1.12 en 3.12 - 19:00
British musician Darren J. Cunningham aka Actress presents together with the artist collective Actual Objects the post-industrial symphony Grey Interiors. The three-part composition presents our civilisation as an imploded space with no discernable gravitation, of which only drifting machine fragments and decaying objects are left – like quotes without reference system. Floating in a gloomy ether sauce, Grey Interiors takes us into the otherworldliness of a landscape beyond man.
➤ 360° video, 20 minutes
➤ A project by Actress & Actual Objects / Producer: Darren Cunningham / Production Supervisor: Georgios Mavrikos / Postproduction Video: Florian Meyer / Spatial Sound Mixing: Timo Bittner / A co-production of Berliner Festspiele / The New Infinity & Stiftung Planetarium Berlin

Extraordinary Alien
Makers: Fatima Al Qadiri & Transforma (2019)
Dates: 26 Nov, 30 Nov, 2 Dec & 4 Dec - 19:00
The video work Extraordinary Alien is based on the US artist visa classification: “alien with extraordinary ability”. It plays with the double meaning of the word “alien” and the notion that all outer space aliens are inherently extraordinary, from our perspective of lowly earthlings. This explains the tendency in science fiction films towards glimpses leading up to a big reveal when the alien is fully unveiled in front of the viewer. This reveal is often followed by disappointment in the alien form, one that rarely meets our extraordinary expectations. How is it that our imagination is incapable of creating a compelling alien form beyond a scant selection perpetuated by Hollywood films? In this work, Fatima Al Qadiri and Transforma use simple, everyday materials to create textures that look like planetary surfaces, galaxies and alien skins. These materials are intentionally used to emphasize the sci-fi qualities of ordinary earthly objects. The soundtrack is based on a single musical motif that is constantly repeated but never fully reveals itself, much like the alien that does not fully reveal itself.
➤ 360° video, 20 minutes
➤ Music: Fatima Al Qadiri / Video: Transforma (Luke Bennett, Baris Hasselbach, Simon Krahl) / Mixing: James Kelly / Spatialization: Koenraad Ecker
De dag voor de dag zonder gisteren
Makers: Victor De Roo & Lewi Moors (2021)
Dates: 26 Nov, 30 Nov, 2 Dec & 4 Dec - 19:00
A project by Het Depot
What existed before the Big Bang? Science offers no concrete answer: there is simply no data available. It was everything and at the same time nothing. Georges Lemaître called it "a day without yesterday", Stephen Hawking speaks of "an imaginary time".
In this audiovisual work, the Leuven artist Lewi Moors and musician Victor De Roo (Het Depot resident) present their interpretation of that time: a state of unconsciousness, in which the concepts of time and space are non-existent, like the intoxication that precedes sobering up. Not according to the rules of science, but according to those of art.
