20 Contemporary Artists from 15 Countries
http://www.leewells.org/scope-art-fair/cinema-scope-program.htm
Curated By Lee Wells / IFAC
http://www.leewells.org
A subtle cinematic analysis on life and death.
A place where dreams were never meant to become true, but did slightly.
An adventure where all hope is not lost, its just hidden from plain sight.
The world already possesses the dream of a time whose consciousness it must now possess in order to actually live it. Time, as Hegel showed, is the necessary alienation, the environment where the subject realizes himself by losing himself, where he becomes other in order to become truly himself. -Guy Dubord
