outline
A
camera infinitely moves in parallel to a table where five dressed in
black are situated around. It faces always the back of one; the director
herself. Her long monologue leads to live discourse between the five
shaping a manifestation of concerns and suggestions on resisting
algorithmic governance.
synopsis
Questioning how can an image be infinite, a live dialogue based on
Gorgias of Plato is recorded as one long shot. The talk it is not
pre-scripted yet moderated and the camera is infinitely moving parallel
to the table on a camera dolly. The director is on play herself yet
transcoded to a distant robotic entity. She is the one questioning and
moderating the discussion, placing her own statement via the initial
question on the table and by moderating. Lalou has been always present
in her independent works under a white coat, while this is the first
time she appears dressed in black and never giving away her facial
expressions to the camera.
