The Vision Machine

The Vision Machine was filmed at the factory of SIGMA Corporation, a renowned global brand of lenses for photography and cinema production. Like most such manufacturers, it is based in Japan. Using lenses manufactured by the factory, Young filmed their female employees as they performed their usual tasks on the production, assembly and testing process. No men are featured, and while the piece alludes to the genres of documentary or corporate video, it was filmed and edited to suggest a speculative fiction: a lensmaking factory run (and perhaps owned) by women.

The 49th Hexagram

​The 49th Hexagram explores the construction of cultural memory and political narrative surrounding the history of the Korean peninsula. Employing the services of an animation studio in Pyongyang, North Korea, Ho Tzu Nyen’s work reinterprets scenes of political uprising and mass demonstration as depicted in South Korean narrative film and television. The project aims to form a direct relationship between South Korea’s political history and the tensions that still define the country’s relationship with its northern counterpart. The result is, in the artist’s words, a “game of exquisite corpse across geopolitical barriers.” The artist developed the experimental soundtrack in collaboration with Korean artists and musicians Bek Hyunjin, Park Minhee, and Ryu Hankil. Offering two vocal renditions of texts from the forty-ninth hexagram of the I-Ching, an ancient Chinese divination manual, the soundtrack composites historical interpretation with translation to speak of revolution and renewal.

VIETNAM: In the Eye of the Dragon

There is much more to Vietnam than its more famous sites, such as Ha Long Bay, the Imperial City of Hue, the Mekong Delta floating markets, Dalat and Hoi An. Come and witness the third millennium knocking on the door of the big cities, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh, where, behind the colonial architecture, modern buildings of glass and steel, luxury cars and sumptuous residential accommodations spring forth. Far from this modernity, the remote regions of ancient Tonkin still honour their ancestral traditions amongst extraordinary landscapes along hillsides shaped by rice paddies. There, “Mountain Princesses” pass on a wealth of knowledge from mother to daughter. Share in the everyday simplicity of the lives of these people, far from the touristy side of Vietnam.

TRAVIS RICE || RESETTER

Travis Rice typically makes an annual pilgrimage to the mountains of Alaska. There, he finds and rides ridiculous lines and creates films that terrify and/or inspire the rest of us. Last year, COVID broke that tradition. However, fortunately for Travis, there’s plenty of backcountry right in his backyard in Jackson Hole. All of the sudden, he saw an opportunity to reset and reconnect with his old stomping grounds. Epic snow. Incredible terrain. Fresh air and beautiful solitude. Sometimes, Alaska comes to you.

Pablo Escobar. Narco-Atletico

In 1989, Pablo Escobar entered the top ten richest people on the planet according to Forbes magazine. He led the Medellin drug cartel for 20 years and, according to some estimates, during his activity he transferred $ 25 billion worth of cocaine to the United States and other countries. In the 70s, Escobar literally covered the streets of America with cocaine. Demand was phenomenal, profits skyrocketed. At one point, the Medellin cartel controlled up to 80% of the world's cocaine turnover. Approximately 70 tons per month were shipped to the USA alone. At that time, Colombia was covered by a football wave. The national team was one of the best on the continent in the early 90s. But how did it happen that in a country where elementary problems have not been solved, football came out on top? Why is this possible? This is the story of how one of the most famous criminals in the history of mankind gave a boost to Colombian football and changed its face forever.

Connected Off the Grid

The last two generations have been striving to build bigger, better, stronger, faster but at a dangerous cost to the environment and society. At the end of the day, the dream is not always the cookie cutter house, the nine to five workday, the fancy car, and the repetition of the daily routine. A hidden number of people have decided to take a step back and reside alternatively, giving up the ideal of having the typical “American Dream” lifestyle. ​Connected Off the Grid​ follows three distinct individuals who have found the perfect balance between staying connected and disconnected at the right times in our world today. From Garth, a desert dweller who lives in a cement tipi to Stan, a tree-sitter fighting to save the Redwood forest, and to a family of four who live on a boat moored out on the water in preparation to sail around the world.
