Until the darkness goes

In a ‘tonal’ coloured 16mm film performance (with six Hokushins), a sonorous poem of twilight, indistinctness and suggestiveness, Urlus tries to make visible the darkness of a depressed mind. The suffering of an adolescent, the filmmaker’s daughter. Colours and mood are inspired by the famous photograph ‘The Pond – Moonlight’ by Steichen (1904) and the Nocturne paintings by Whistler (1870’).
