{What is to ‘cohabit’?}

In these 2 films Myriam Van Imschoot portrays the skyscraper where she has been living from various angles and distances, whereas Maru Mustrhieva through her performance enters the architecture from the lived inside. 

LIFT (2013), 19’33”, no language spoken. 

The camera travels in one long sequence across the facade of a skyscraper, evoking a city through reflection and sound.  An example of interest in the spatiality of sound. 

Efemeriden (2012) 10’33”, language spoken. 

A group of inhabitants appear on their balconies to wave. Shot from afar the action becomes a meditation and invitation to ponder ephemerality in the larger scheme of things. 

Lover with a heart of stone (2024), 15 min, English.

In this performative reading, short story by Maru works in a two-fold way — an allegory and a confession to the Brusilia building.


Films and performance presented together for the first time.
