New lecture at Konstfack coming up

Welcome to the forthcoming Konstfack Common Seminar with Carl Abrahamsson, “Occulturation & Epistemology – the creative relationship between Utilitarianism and Cerebral Neutrality” 23rd NOVEMBER 2022, 10:00 – 12:00 CET/UTC+1.

A new Carl & Vanessa film

An undress rehearsal in slow motion – as slow as befits your fast-paced mind. Circular movements on straight lines, jumping up to the sky on your bare knees, opening up to corporeal closure. Please remember: it is an examination of absolutely nothing that will provide all of this and more. As in A More; as in Re Seduction.  #carlabrahamsson #vanessasinclair #trapartfilm #reseduction #experimentalfilm
