Of Other Spaces
Synopsis:
Through episodes that display a high degree of idiosyncrasy, we follow a stranger who creates an imaginary order which serves to stress his inexistence elsewhere. The film presents a constellation of past time and suspended time to explore the phrase 'a placeless place' as iterated by Foucault.
Words on the Film:
"The film can be described as a subjective documentary of several dispersed thoughts gleaned from a personal experience in my life. The day I read 'Of Other Spaces' by Foucault, the phrase 'a placeless place' began to echo all over me. The obsession to see myself "there where I am absent" significantly contributed in my process of constructing this film. I initially planned the film as a disjointed compilation of my desperate attempts to find utopia, but towards the end, the disjointedness began to feel like spheres of madness within a unidimensional expanse."
-Sibi Sekar
"With his latest and longest short film, Sibi Sekar proves to be one of the most promising young voices of experimental cinema whose ‘otherness’ is emphasized time and again through both visual ‘trickery’ of deep red obfuscation, and unpredictable soundscapes oscillating irregularly around an inherently filmic dissolution of time, space and ultimately, reality. Guided by Godard’s words, he dares to jump into the void, owing no explanation to us who stand and watch him do it."
-Nikola Gocić
