ART SG FILM: Would You Tell Me a Story Until I Fall Asleep
In this black box, the mind becomes its own quiet chamber—like a camera obscura—where images can arrive differently: slower, more porous, attentive. Here, the intention is to explore the essential feature of the image: its ability to affect the viewer not through rhetoric, but through singular, subjective encounters.
These films confront us with the nature of the image as something tied inextricably to the past—that-has-been. The image becomes a kind of spectrum, a quiet but insistent return of what is no longer with us.
You are invited to rest in this darkened chamber. Sleep is employed not as a retreat but as a method: an archive that allows memory and sensation to drift upward.
