The Capsule



Athina Rachel Tsangari : 2012

Seven young women. A mansion perched on a Cycladic rock. A series of lessons on discipline, desire, discovery, and disappearance. A melancholy, inescapable cycle on the brink of womanhood – infinitely. A film and projection installation of a Greek Gothic mystery inspired by the work of the young Polish artist Aleksandra Waliszewska. The installation at Barneys New York used a single screen simultaneously showing two separate films, constructed from the same story, yet juxtaposing and amplifying each other as twin narratives. By utilising digital 3D technology with a triangular lattice, it created a kaleidoscopic window projection, the experience of which was dependent on the viewer's distance from the screen and their height. The film premiered at Locarno Film Festival 2012.
