Kuratorene om programmet
"A Thousand Bodies is a film program inspired by Deleuze and Guattari’s perspective on madness as developed in their book Anti-Oedipus. This program explores the symptoms exhibited by the body as a response to an absence or a lack, and not as merely pathological. Here, symptoms are not failures but adaptations, offering a “sane” response to an increasingly insane world marked by the systemic violence of late capitalist societies.
From the confines of institutional walls to the precarious expanses of untethered thought, A Thousand Bodies is a film program that looks at the ways in which bodies and minds resist control and subvert hegemonic forces. It’s Under the Flesh Where You Are Tender by Agnès Hayden delves into the materiality of the body, silently piercing through the opacity of the skin to uncover what lies beyond the flesh. In Gala Hernández López’s for here am i sitting on a tin can far above the world, fear, imagination and profit converge, as thousands of individuals choose to be cryogenized awaiting better times. Exit Through the Cuckoo’s Nest by Nikola Ilic offers a searing critique of systemic oppression, revealing mental illness as the only way out of a compulsory military service in wartime; while Sarah Ballard’s Full Out delves into the transformative possibilities of the body as a site of violence, inexplicable impulses and radical change. In the final film of the program, In My Head, Irina Tempea plunges the audience into the fragmented landscape of inner turmoil shaped by a failing body due to a tentacular disease.
Together, these works question the boundaries between reason and madness, sickness and resilience, giving voice to untold stories of bodies that endure, resist, and refuse to be silenced."
