ULTRA VIOLETS (REMOUNT 2024)

Directed and Created by Alexandra Caprara 

21/11/24 - 22/11/24

To become is cause for celebration. There is a deep pleasure to becoming. There is an eroticism to speculation, to becoming a version of yourself that feels closer to an intrinsic truth, one you may or may not already know. With that comes rot, and decay, and rebirth, and the necessity to become nonetheless despite these things. Plants serve as idyllic subjects in this way of thinking- they do not need to speculate becoming for themselves. They simply are. As stated in The Vegetative Soul: “the body of a plant is never given in advance, it is not prescribed, the extent of its metamorphosis can never be predicted."
