AMAR KANWAR – SUCH A MORNING
2019-01-21The show features his latest film Such a Morning, a modern parable about two people’s quiet engagement with truth. The work premiered at documenta 14 in Athens and Kassel in 2017 is showed here along with seven installations of letters composed of video and light projections on paper. Searching for a way to re-comprehend the difficult times we are living in, Kanwar asks “What is it that lies beyond, when all arguments are done with? How to reconfigure and respond again?” Such a Morning unlocks a metaphysical response to our contemporary reality as it navigates multiple hallucinations between speech and silence, fear and freedom, democracy and fascism. In the 85-minute film, a famous mathematician at the peak of his career unexpectedly withdraws from his life and retreats to the wilderness to live in an abandoned train carriage.
