Wednesday, January 20, MOCA will highlight London-based Emily Wardill's video, Game Keepers without Game in the exhibition The Reach of Realism, by creating a special screening time at 7:30 pm so you can watch it from start to finish. The video is inspired by Pedro Calderon de la Barca's play La Vida es Suena (1635) and follows a contemporary British family in a dysfunctional drama of abandonment and attempted reconciliation. The video is shot against a stark white background, pushing all the characters and props to the fore. They are not grounded in the same reality, but float within it and never touch. Wardill uses innovative narrative techniques, and plays with the construction of a story through precise attention to images and sound. Please join us for the screening and respond here with questions and comments.
