SOLEIL NOIR by Laurent Grasso

screening 04.10.2017

 

Screening curated by Alessandro Possati, Zuecca Projects.

 

“At a time when the inherent disconnect between the people in power and their citizens is ever more apparent, the places where crucial decisions are made, secure and sheltered without the faintest reminder of the consequences of actions; the reassuring setting of one of London’s oldest Member’s Clubs, sets the viewer in line with politicians and diplomats who decide the fate of the world by a simple tap of a finger.

 

Do the images on screen belong to the past, the present or the future?

 

An all too earthly reminder of our mortality and temporal and transient nature on this planet. Humanity to this day is subject to the wrath of Nature and to that of other men.”

 

– Alessandro Possati
