30KG Shine 2016

30KG Shine is a film that examines various states of existence—object, body and spirit—and how they exchange roles and share enmeshed forms of agency. Paying homage to a 1930s urban myth about a ghost that haunted the Old City of Jerusalem, the film records how an elderly woman, currently living where the fable is set, secures her home and family heritage by leading life in confined quarters, often at the expense of her own livelihood and health. The work also features footage of a ‘tunnel cemetery’ being constructed to house 22,000 displaced corpses. Many of the Palestinian workers who dig these makeshift graves enter Jerusalem without proper permitting, their illegal movement enabled by the dead’s historical presence. While these tunnels are created to house the remains of those who have passed, the presence of those remains preserves a channel of movement, one hidden underneath the city and expanding without tangible oversight.

M-1 N/A

While people are divided over those in favor of culling and others who advocate for the preservation of wilderness, the current Canis Lupis in Norway and Sweden questions the very meaning of naturalness and wildness. Regulated and moderated through technologies of government, the current wolf of the wildlife is a technical animal tipping across zones between preservation and eradication. For Per Segerbäck, an engineer who is allergic to electromagnetic frequencies, life is only possible outside the city, closer to that wilderness. Through gps, radio waves and found images, M-1 seems to map a territory between the visible and the invisible.
