Surfaces /

Surfaces speaks about continuity, it is a single rhythmic plane which is sustained by music. The best commentary on it is related to a phrase from Georges Petrix: What is the meaning of form, color, material? Why is it there? If it's only to make someone say "yes, isn't that pretty, isn't that nice?" then we're not interested. In truth, what it is an expression ourselves, our lives.

Music on Triggering Surfaces / 1978

In Music on Triggering Surfaces, Bode constructs an interface between audio and video systems.

The video image itself then triggers the audio. The shifting grey-scale of the image becomes a two-dimensional sound map or audio score.

The film is woven through by different themes: the other and the relation to otherness, the connection between body and power, the voice and, ultimately, the micropolitics of desire and of resistance.

Creation Between Two Surfaces / 2019

CREATION BETWEEN TWO SURFACES A Film By Hossein Rajabian Statement I've tried my best to make a film about wisdom, rather than insanity. I firmly believe that we may not believe in wisdom and that's why we continue to live in madness.
