No More Reality Whereabouts

This featurelength film combines 20 years of existing and reedited footage to generate a film of films a hybrid that is both a nonexhaustive retrospective and the creation of a new persona through the symbiosis of its constituent parts In the past decades Parreno has radically redefined the exhibition experience by conceiving this as a scripted space where a series of events unfolds Now he explores the possibilities of the theatrical film screening as a coherent object rather than a collection of individual films For the first time Parreno presents a retrospective of his film works in the diegetic space of the cinema instead of the museum space Parreno proposes a seance of cinema reintroducing in this traditional setting the magic and live rituals that lie at the basis of this art form
