Where: the luggage store window front at 1007 Market Street
When: October 1-31, 2011, dusk through dawn
Public projections have given a new meaning to video. Experiencing moving pictures in public for free often translates to the of selling of a product or a lifestyle. With that in mind, programming at the luggage store’s Projection Space has offered video art for everyone to experience. Videos presented have often been non-linear, non-narrative and site specific, accommodating for the temporal state a person experiences on the corner of 6th & Market.
For the month of October, Projection Series reconsiders the space by transforming the window into an outdoor movie screen presenting the narrative works of silent filmmaker Nara Denning. Under the Pavement, Denning’s new feature length compilation of five short films, offer viewers visually stunning and poetically composed narratives providing a respite from the hustle and bustle of 6th & Market and provoking thoughts, ideas and inspirations.
A feature length compendium of five short films united under a common theme of identity crisis in the modern era. Each story presents a conflict between inner and outer reality that takes shape in the characters’ dreams and interior lives. Here they will discover the true meaning of the conflict: an obstacle to the soul’s expression on Earth. It is in this realm of the subconscious that they must confront the obstacle and recreate themselves and their relationship to the world.
