Still from Lament H.E.A.T.
Field Recordings 5
November 8-9-10 2024 at Worm Rotterdam
Employing a wide range of media, from 16mm analog film to a 360-degree camera, to an interactive audio walk through Rotterdam, the works gathered in the program touch on a multiplicity of themes. We move from evolution and extinction, narrated by rocks (Last Things, Deborah Stratman), to debates between proponents of traditional and colonial law, inherited from European occupation (Al Djanat, Chloé Aïcha Boro), to an auto-ethnographic portrayal of the Nenets way of life (Nedarma, Anastasia Lapsui & Markku Lehmuskallio) to the consequences of French nuclear testing in colonial era Algeria (And still, it remains, Arwa Aburawa & Turab Shah). Negotiation - whether between two sides of a conflict, or the settlement of a difficult family history - is a common thread. The program of Field Recordings 5 engages with various marginalized narratives, often from the perceived peripheries, and is made with an eye on fostering conversations between seemingly disparate geographical and political contexts.For Field Recordings 5 we are proud to present a 3-day long program of film and sound works by: Anastasia Lapsui & Markku Lehmuskallio, Anna Khvyl, Arwa Aburawa & Turab Shah, Chloé Aïcha Boro, Daniel Jacoby, Deborah Stratman, Eduardo Williams, Ewelina Rosińska, Hildegard Westerkamp, Kamal Aljafari, Karla Crnčević, Maia Liu, Nathalie Alonso Casale, Oleksiy Radynski, Priyageetha Dia, Rehab Nazzal, Sara Rajaei, Vasyl (Tkachenko) Lyakh, Yi-Shan Lo, and Zacharias Kunuk.
