‘If a sense of reality exists, a sense of possibility must also exist’ is an adaptation of the theatrical play ‘The Enthusiasts’ by Robert Musil. Franciska Lambrechts has managed to turn this ‘unstageable’ piece into an intriguing film by radicalizing Musil’s work. In close consultation with the actors (from theatre companies including tg. Stan and Dito’Dito), she reduced the text to its core: the quest of a small group of people for truth and reality at a time when major ideologies fail. It has become a refined film with strictly framed black-and-white images and passionate acting.

Klahr describes it as “a psychedelic melodrama” offering “my most linear story line yet.” It’s constructed from cutouts of characters and spaces he photographed himself; the actors move in a jumpy manner to the accompaniment of their own dialogue. The main character, a young man named Rex, searches for “this place…that he always knew was his future,” in the words of a woman who becomes his girlfriend. Inspired by “a 12th-century Jewish mystic…who became enlightened by meditating on Hebrew letters,” Rex figures he can “update this approach” by meditating on TV through “nonstop channel flipping.” Out of money and facing eviction, he moves in with the woman, who supports his quest. They take a new hallucinogen together, and Rex becomes an apparent zombie, living in “the place” but incapable of communication or action.

The film runs like the scenery seen from the train. The images flow, then stop, it starts moving again. A man and a woman meet. Colorful carp swimming gracefully.

A work that I rediscovered projecting film.

In defiance of the background noise of homophobia, a series of dreamlike images evoke the interplay between private and public spaces, and the continual disintegration and reconfiguration of queer identity within (and on the periphery of) dominant culture. The soundtrack combines a litany of voices from a radio talk-show which fade in and out of background electronic noise, processed underwater sound effects, and a poetic text. The images represent a movement from the interior space of dreams through intimate private domestic scenes, out into the public urban spaces of subway stations and street intersections, and finally to the city skyline as seen from across the surface of a body of water.

The S/N installation/performance project began in 1992, took its title from the “signal/noise ratio” of electronic communications and applied it to the dissonance surrounding contemporary social issues — sex inequality, racial and ethnic minority discrimination, politics of gender, HIV/AIDS and sexualities — in an effort to go beyond the theatrics of art toward activist engagement and community outreach. The conceptual author, director and performer of the work, Teiji Furuhashi, who came out on stage as gay and HIV-positive and died of AIDS-related septicemia on 29 October 1995, characterized S/N as “struggle.”

A film by Dmitry Lurye.

The owner, and by the way the only employee of the makeshift agency, who boasts of many successful intermediations (portraits of married women in Western metropolises wallpaper the agency's walls), selects the settings and teaches the young woman how to pose: from behind a desk, as a secretary, with the phone to her ear, with the image of American skyscrapers in the background, against the backdrop of a beach with palm trees, in a mini dress in a Mediterranean setting, with a glass of red wine in her hand, etc. But at a certain point the young woman rejects the clichés and asks the owner-cameraman to capture her in an authentic pose.
