Program dedicated to audiovisual poetry that finds in its experimental nuances a way of expressing the echoes of the world through the politics of the body, movement, dream scenarios and the vibrations of the moving image that cross the borders of reality.

[june 24-28] Parenthesis @ non-syntax Experimental Image Festival 🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼

Parenthesis is screening in Taipei, Taiwan starting from tomorrow (6/24) until June 28th at the Roof Light for the non-syntax Experimental Image Festival. The section is called “Obscure Meditation”.

The exhibition pieces in this section provide the viewer with a cyclical and meditative experience. The images are not unidirectional timelines from 00:00 to the end, and we should not forget that all images are light sources that are repeatedly projected, refracting and cycling in each viewing.

(❤️thank you!❤️)

Parenthesis by Vasilios Papaioannu

“non-syntax Experimental Image Festival” begins by focusing on the experimental nature of images in the contemporary, linking practices across countries, reorganizing existing media and genres, and bringing different images into dialogue with each other to consider the possibilities of the image. “non-syntax” indicates the conflict that occurred in writing. The connection of two vocabularies creates a vacuum of meaning that is present itself via erasing its gramma. Through the assemblage of works, the discussion of issues, and the mixing of genres and groups, the diversity of contemporary images are mapped out.

🙏

PARENTHESIS WINS VIDEO CONTEST "FLOW" AT SYNKRONICITI 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

in , ,

Parenthesis has won the video contest “Flow” organized by Synkroniciti and will be part of the June Issue of both the online magazine publication and the archive.

synkroniciti

Vasilios Papaioannu’s “Parenthesis,” which is not only a work of great beauty and meaning, but captures the essence of flow in terms of time, memory, and thought. Vasilios used a Super 8 camera and stitched together four and half minutes of abstract consciousness, bordered by a woman standing by the seaside. She dives into the water in the final seconds. The video evokes a pause in reality that is like the pauses our minds create when we are lost in memory, dreams or reverie. We see snatches of things, animals, people and environments, as we hear the pounding of the surf. The moment at hand is obscured and supplanted by other moments, which dance through our mind’s eye without any discernable connection to one another. One thinks obliquely of existence, of past, present and future, of life and death, and the repeating patterns that make up our lives.

The medium of Super 8, with its grainy texture, dreamy lighting and vintage nostalgia, is the perfect vehicle for a movie exploring human cognition like “Parenthesis.”  We are so pleased to award it our prize and to feature it in our upcoming issue (June 1st).
