Manon de Boer’s films breathe in and out of her subjects. Actors, dancers, musicians, theoreticians – the individuals she portrays carve sounds, movements and ideas out of their own physical engagement with the world. Unsurprisingly, they also interrogate the relationship between individual and collectivity and the way in which we relate to our surroundings. Resonating Surfaces 2005 is an enthralling portrait of the psychoanalyst Suely Rolnik and of the city of Sao Paolo. It journeys through Brazilian dictatorship, French philosophy and the rediscovery of self in the power of a song. Attica 2008 takes as a starting point a performance of two of Frederic Rzewski’s short compositions on the Attica prison riot of 1971, visually articulating this juncture of poetry, experimental music and political activism. one, two, many 2012 is an arresting meditation on the relationship between the individual and collective body through the physical articulation of sound and voice.

The screening will be followed by a discussion between the artist and Tate Britain curator Elena Crippa.
