OKZharp and Manthe Ribane: Closer/Apart

This short film draws on Chris Saunders' photography and film work; capturing contemporary movement and dance applied to an abstract interrogation of a person’s place within different natures - both real and fictionalised, performative and psychosomatic. Animated textures and digital landscapes from Optigram are overlaid, challenging the integrity of Manthe's cinematic world, rupturing the viewer's engagement with it, evoking an internet-like unrest, and bringing with it a sense of the imminent beyond the present continuous.
