Denise Ferreira da Silva and Arjuna Neuman, Soot Breath // Corpus Infinitum, 2020
Elemental Cinema brings together the collaborative film works of Arts professor Denise Ferreira da Silva (GRSJ) and artist Arjuna Neuman. Three cinematic works question how structures of power and categorizations of difference generate rifts between humans, and with the more-than-human, the earth and cosmos. In these films, the four elements – water, earth, fire, air – inform the artists’ considerations of an entangled existence, and of time and value that reimagine knowledge and existence “otherwise.”
This exhibition includes installations of their films to date: Serpent Rain (2016), 4 Waters – Deep Implicancy (2019) and Soot Breath // Corpus Infinitum (2020), as well as archives related to the films. The three films, exhibited together for the first time, present an immersive experience situating the body in relation to the four elements.
