Arjuna Neuman, Denise Ferreira da Silva – Field Notes From Soot Breath // Corpus Infinitum 25 February 2024 Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Moving through extended material and research from the making of the video work 'Soot Breath // Corpus Infinitum', filmmaker Arjuna Neuman and philosopher Denise Ferreira da Silva explore their creative collaboration. The second instalment in the Elemental Cinema series, which takes up the elements to reimagine the world otherwise, 'Soot Breath // Corpus Infinitum' is a film dedicated to tenderness. Reproducing a radical sensibility learned from listening to the blues, to skin, heat, echoes, and listening itself, it reimagines the human and its subject formation away from predatory desire and lethal abstraction, which manifest as ethnography, border regimes, slavery, sexual abuse, trade, and mining. Instead, tenderness is explored as a raw material. Remembering that to be tender is to soften like supple grass, and that to attend to is to care for – to serve. Serving, we know, is the opposite of slavery, just as violence dissolves with care. → Explore more of the 2024 Biennial programme at https://2024.sonicacts.com CREDITS Camera: Engage!
