Un film de Marlies Pöschl

Produit par Marlies Pöschl & CAC Brétigny

2020, FR/AT Experimental, HD, 11’

Based on a collaborative project, in which senior citizens imagined a future vision of their assisted living project, a choral performance was created. Marlies Pöschl condenses this ritual into a film where the supposed transparency of ‘smart homes’ dissolves.

Leaving behind a deserted courtyard, we enter a mysterious castle. Its inhabitants greet us in a still image. As they begin to move, they seem to follow strict patterns. Their bodies make sounds that resonate like machines: PVC, LNLM. The house has taken on a life of its own: windows watch over the people, blankets measure their temperature, the floor listens in. It is about finding a new language: between human bodies and technical objects.
