A collaboration between Wavelengths alum Johann Lurf and artist-academic Christina Jauernik as part of an experimental research project, Revolving Rounds incorporates the vintage Cyclostéréoscope apparatus in an oblique, dizzying immersion into the act of plant growth and cultivation. The film was realized as part of the FWF research project “Unstable Bodies” at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

By turns graceful and incensed, The Diary of a Sky artist — and self-described “private ear” — Lawrence Abu Hamdan employs collaboratively sourced smartphone videos and his typically lucid analysis to examine the sonic terrorism routinely effectuated over the citizens of Lebanon.

Forming part of a film constellation that stretches from Chile across the Pacific, in which Malena Szlam trains her camera on far-flung volcanic landscapes — by turns barren and verdant — the dazzling in-camera multiple exposures of Archipelago of Earthen Bones — To Bunya evoke the layered histories of the titular Bunya Mountains in eastern Australia’s Beerwah region, further deepened by sonified atmospheres from artist Lawrence English.
