A Mountain that Refracts Light and Time

https://www.neme.org/blog/mountain-press

On Saturday, 10 December 2022, at 7PM, NeMe invites you to A Mountain that Refracts Light and Time, a lecture performance where Rosa Menkman will introduce a work in progress, created with support from NeMe, within the framework of the European Media Art Platform residency. Since the summer of 2022, Menkman has been travelling the Mediterranean to learn about three Cyclopes lineages.

Cyclopes are famous mythical creatures, known for their gargantuan physique and single round eye. However, beyond their most famous features, and maybe a name born by a single Cyclops, little about them is known. In fact, Cyclopes seem shrouded in mystery, sparking general questions such as: Where do contemporary Cyclopes live, and how do Cyclopes perceive the world?

This Saturday, Menkman introduces her ongoing process in A Mountain that Refracts Light and Time. The work is narrated by the Angel of History, a recurring figure in Menkman’s work. The Angel watches the Cyclopes pasts and learns from their perspectives in attempt to apply its lessons to a future.
