Capturing the horizon

A set of experimental films: Captive Horizon + Transitions + Silica + Imperial Valley (cultivated run-off) (English friendly)

  • Captive Horizon
  • directed by Lukas Marxt, Austria 2015, 14'

    • Captive Horizon walks the thin line between truth and illusion. For this, it uses Lukas Marxt's favourite motifs – uninhabited, yet man-shaped landscapes. The filming plays with perceptual habits to create original stories.

  • Transitions
  • directed by Aurèle Ferrier, Switzerland 2017, 13'
    • In this work, Ferrier explores traces of human civilization, taking viewers on a journey from the middle of the desert to Las Vegas – the world’s centre of hedonism. During this short journey between the two extremes, however, we will not see any people, just their traces.

  • Silica
  • directed by Pia Borg, Australia/United Kingdom 2017, 23'
    • Shown at the Venice Biennale in 2017, this work is about a town near an opal mine in Southern Australia. By combining analogue film with microscope shots and animation, Silica blurs the boundaries between what is real and what is imagined.

  • Imperial Valley (cultivated run-off)
  • directed by Lukas Marxt, Austria 2018, 14'
    • Imperial Valley is an agricultural region in California, where crops are only possible thanks to large-scale irrigation systems, and where the soil still contains pollution from military tests carried out in the region in the 1940s. The monocultural-ness of industrial crops on desert-like lands provokes the threat of environmental and ecological disaster. Lukas Marxt films the valley using a drone – the landscape, although created by man, appears to be a hostile place to which people certainly do not belong.
