Life-Art-Balance

How should we live? Light is shed upon questions of human existence from the margins of society: in Exit Interview, elderly residents of a homeless shelter look back on their experiences and look ahead to their expectations: they have considerable experience, but low expectations. In Cumming’s portrait observes a camera at very close range, almost involvement, their everyday life. Where does observation end and presentation begin? Their exhausted bodies tell their own story. Bodies and physical balance are tested in Trying to stay on the horizon and The same horizon repeated [...]. When is everything on an even keel? In My Body, things are located differently; order and body evidently mismatch. Even more questions are raised by the performers in This was before. When is a picture a picture? In this programme, at least, films also always represent a search somewhere between art and life.
