Part of their new strand of screenings at Close-Up, Filmarmalade presents a screening of moving image work by artists Pil and Galia Kollectiv. Pil and Galia Kollectiv's films are grounded in an interest in the relationship between art and politics. Following speculative scenarios to their logical conclusion, they re-imagine the consumer riot as a future re-enactment, Marx's Capital as an asparagus ballet, archaeological research at Stonehenge as a forgotten ritual and an economic endgame as a dialogue between computers.
Their new work, The Plague and Its Segmentations, presented here as the world premiere screening continues their investigation of fractured temporalities and science fiction narrative as a means of interrogating the present.
