Naima Joris and Vitja Pauwels symbiotically merge their sound with Jan van IJken’s live edited microscopic images of plankton, to offer a glimpse into the underwater world as you’ve never seen it before. The title O is a reference to the circle of life of which plankton is an integral part, and a play on ‘eau’, the French word for water. The result is a thrilling improvised spectacle with an enchanting effect and an urgent message.
>>> due to unforeseen circumstances Naima Joris will not be at the performance, Vitja Pauwels and Jan van Ijken will be in attendance.
Jan Kulka is an experimental filmmaker from Prague working predominantly with analogue technologies. Using the ‘Archeoscope’ (in Czech, Pramítačka), a special opto-mechanical projecting apparatus he invented and constructed for live film performances, Kulka aims to find radically different ways of perceiving, understanding and working with film material, alongside new, aslant approaches to the act of projection. His latest work Paterny is created mainly with 60mm optical printing.
