Albert Serra will present a unique preview of his latest in-development project Singularity. Commissioned for the Catalan participation at the Venice Biennale as a Collateral Event. The specially conceived event will explore Serra’s ongoing collaboration with curator Chus Martinez with an exclusive presentation of his upcoming project and a specially conceived performance by legendary musician Jordi Valls.
The season will launch with Serra’s most recent film Story of My Death 2013 a baroque reflection on pleasure and desire that imagines a meeting between Casanova and Dracula. Earlier award winning films range from the minimalist take on Don Quixote in Honour of the Knights 2006 to a reworking of the Biblical parable of the Three Kings in Birdsong 2008. Unfolding in beautiful and often remote landscapes, these films mine history to create philosophical parables blending the mythical with the everyday.
