ESTHER POLAK AND IVAR VAN BEKKUM
ONCE WE GET THERE
Esther will speak about Once We Get There. The film introduces an alienating yet familiar landscape of satellite images, tracks and sound. We follow the minute by minute movements and sounds of animals, machines and people in Philadelphia. Although we constantly and intimately hear reality, we experience the movements within an abstract, two dimensional world of satellite photography.
Despite its meditative approach “Once We Get There” intensively questions our contemporary techno-society, where social connectivity and eavesdropping coexist and balances between empathic co-traveling and voyeurism.
