​Join us for a one-night screening featuring contemporary international moving-image work. Each of the artists in the program engages with the idea of substitutes – replicas, simulations, and reembodiments – in order to complicate contemporary modes of representation. Using strategies such as reenactment, repetition, flattening, recontexlizion, and the appropriation of mass-media iconography, these works probe the power structures inherent in current legal, political, and sociological territories, as well as traditional cinematic constructs of time and narrative.

​Organized by Inbar Hagai, in collaboration with the independent artist-run exhibition platform, Departure Lounge, and hosted by the NARS Foundation. 

​Content Warning: Some of the films in this program contain challenging material that may be unsettling for viewers. One film includes sequences of strobing imagery.
