Filmmaker and installation artist Nida Sinnokrot presents a series of sculptural and cinematic installations in KIOSK, that is blacked out completely for the occasion. All of them speak of the history, representation or political potential of technology.

The photographic and cinematographic equipment we see at work here, was carefully dissected and (dis)assembled beforehand. By rethinking their appearance, Sinnokrot also lays open the machinery at the heart of mass media like film and photography, giving rise to a new imaginary space. Linear time, fixed perspective or other codes of viewing that we associate with traditional montage, the lens or the projection screen, are disrupted. Several layers of implicit meaning come together in a single powerful, abstract image or poetic experience.

Brought together under the title Exquisite Rotation, these works combine into a reciprocally affecting movement of image, light and sound. The spectators are an essential part of this gesture: in their turn, they trigger the appearance and disappearance of the images themselves. As such, Exquisite Rotation primarily reveals to us the mechanisms behind images.
