About Jerusalem-Taken From The Surface

Jerusalem-Taken From The Surface, directed by SSMIDD 09, is a recent submission to ECU 2010's Experimental category!

We are caught up in an interplay of dream, commemoration, matter, presence and absence, aspiration, confidence, religion and the imminence of war.

Jerusalem – taken from the surface has been arranged into 3 parts. The
Past, The Present and Vision display allegories, each of them
documentary–matter-of-fact tempered, as well as experimental–fantastic. The
Present and Vision are being separated by a mute Intermezzo.

“The method of allegory is already intrinsic to the concept of the
VIDEOSURFACE-project. Yet here, in Jerusalem – taken from the surface the
symbolic interplay between the heterotopy Jerusalem and all of its
kaleidoscopic reflections gain an exclusive renaissance. We are caught up in an interplay of dream,commemoration, matter, presence and absence, aspiration, confidence, religion and the imminence of war.” – SSMIDD°09
