Date: Wednesday, June 5th 6:00-8:00pm Location: Konsthall C
Film Screening and Discussion with Riar Rizaldi and Mariam Elnozahy at Konsthall C. Join us for a film screening and discussion featuring artist Riar Rizaldi. We will discuss techno-futurism, magic, sufism, and more!
Riar Rizaldi is interested in worldviews and the complexity of belief systems, with particular focus on his home of Indonesia. Using speculative science-fiction, he examines the consequences of advanced technology and modern science to the social, political, and cultural life of human and nonhuman in Southeast Asia, especially in the Indonesian archipelago. Riar explores these issues through the notion of worldbuilding, colliding fiction and observation, and experimenting with audiovisual language and form. This evening we will screen four of Rizaldi's latest works: Fossils (2023), Notes from Gog Magog (2022), Pyroclasts are Elegant Storytellers (2022), and MIRAGE 0: METANOIA – PRELUDE (2023) |
