A summer evening, moon and stars, and a night of cinema. Sounds good. But wouldn’t
you rather wander inside the movie, playing your own part?
Housing estates often feature in film, especially British films, as a byword for social
exclusion, poverty and dysfunctionally. NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON turns this trope on
its head and sets the film inside a run down housing estate, with the moving images
projected directly onto the exterior walls. And instead of being all about “social problems”
NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON is all about fantasy, thrill, memory and desire.
Studio75 present a vision of a magical world made of light, fantastical moving images
playing over the walls and bricked up windows of a run down soon-to-be-demolished East
London housing estate.
NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON features a show of intricate and stunning moving image
work by the renowned duo SDNA (www.sdna.tv), responsible for 2011′s “Waking Dream” at
Ron Arad’s Curtain Call at the Roundhouse. The show also features work by US video
artist Jessica Kolokol.
NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON is a walk-through event, inviting you to walk through the
estate and experience the video in your own time and at your own pace. The show will
begin at 9 pm and finish promptly at 10:45.
NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON is curated by Gillian McIver at Studio75. For more
