“Ni\u00a0<\/span>M\u00e5ste<\/span>\u00a0Namaste” [You must namaste]\u00a0<\/span>explores<\/span>\u00a0different ideas of home and estrangement and how they relate to fantasies of health and sickness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The construction of a fictional neighbourhood, \u201cSudden hills\u201d, is imagined through painting and film. Sudden Hills is the stage on which fantasies of luxury and wellness are played out in an omnipresent advertisement drawing<\/span>\u00a0inspiration<\/span>\u00a0from multiple city development projects.\u00a0<\/span>Aside from the health\u00a0<\/span>centre<\/span>\u00a0branded “Sudden Stillness” this new neighborhood is only present through advertisement and endless construction. Through a yoga-class at Sudden Stillness we are guided through the journey of several characters that share the backdrop of this future vision in the making.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>“Ni\u00a0<\/span>M\u00e5ste<\/span>\u00a0Namaste” [You must namaste] is an experiment in zero budget film-making.<\/span>\u00a0Hand-painted backdrops are used as scenography and were also intended to form an installation together with the film. A central painting<\/span>\u00a0and character<\/span>\u00a0is a 4 x\u00a0<\/span>3 meter<\/span>\u00a0billboard painted on polystyrene panels.<\/span><\/p>\n
