A pivotal work for video art of the 1980s. Fragments of time during a journey where the changing landscapes become full players in a story shown in shadowy backplay, which relates the imagined encounter of two passengers.
Temporary landscape; visual and sonic messages; blended; the city. Part of the "New Spaces" project, the film is an exploration of the landscapes and sounds of Hong Kong, seeking its identity between the old China and the new.
A playful and electronic choreographic interpretation to the tune of Habanera.
The dialogue is based on the Gospel according to St John. The apostles are played by friends (the disciples) of Boris Lehman, most of them movie-makers, filmed in front of the last house still standing opposite the new buildings of the European Union. Judas is played by Claudio Pazienza and Christ by Boris Lehman. The film was shot in a matter of hours on a Sunday morning, with an incredible decor in a street that had been razed to the ground by property developers, just before the police arrived.
