Cadence Video Poetry Festival – the gaps in me

What lies beyond the watery weight of a body? Do mirrors reflect the dusty light of truth? Part ghost story, part performance art, and part art object, these video poems forsake flesh and revel in repetition. Emerging from the sand and slime of our collective grief, they reveal the shared realities of loss and persistence, as told through sutures, similes, and mise-en-scènes.

This showcase features two poetic screendances:

“All ways.” from the US

You could not have tried any harder.

“Blessed Are Those Who Grieve” from Germany

A slice of an inner, surreal landscape of grief. Melting somatic work, multilayered soundscapes, and digital spheres, the film explores a hybridity of mourning through the birth of a creature pushing towards the reconciliation of a collective grief.
