Shifting Bodies to Fluid Fiction

Daniela Gutmann

Austria

2023, 4'

Bodies touching, bodies wrapped in glitter, naked bodies in the decorum of black and white. Close-ups and fragments of bodies in full cinematic eroticism.

The camera follows the contours of naked bodies so closely that it is no longer possible to distinguish where one begins and the other ends. It’s also difficult to distinguish the shapes being offered to the frame, if here and there we catch a glimpse of a nipple or the outline of a buttock, most of the time we can’t name those curves. In this indistinctness and appeal to the imagination lies both the conceptual and erotic strength of this film — everything is skin, flesh, sensation, friction, sensuality. (Cláudia Marques)

Matta and Matto

In a world alarmingly reminiscent of our pandemic, touch has been made taboo, leading people to commit thoughtless acts because the temptation and desire are sometimes stronger. To respond to this impulse, there is Matta and Matto’s hotel, where everything you want is at the touch of a fingertip, but nothing is offered without a hard price to pay.

Molecular Delusions

It is a film that takes place throughout a night dedicated to the psychedelic oneirism of what is audible. Here there is a journey through the sounds of orgasms that becomes a ghostly daze.

512×512

An exploration of how images composed by Artificial Intelligence can become an object of fascination, especially when we try to use them to excavate an obsession.

Butterfly

We take the idea of a butterfly that flaps its wings and everything changes, and that’s exactly what happens in this painting-turned-cinema. A butterfly arrives and upsets all the daily harmony of these beings who live around a fountain in a garden.

Look On the Bright Side

It’s a journey that’s made through the commanding editing work of a director with a master’s hand. Here, the journey takes us from the ore that is used in the component parts of our technology to what the technology itself then provides us with, in all its splendour of light.
