They breathe, the celestials. to wander (The Human Surge)

A screening of Eduardo Williams’ film The Human Surge which follows young people from Argentina, Mozambique, and the Philippines, while they wander aimlessly across jungles, up mountains and down into caves. Oscillating between rain and wind, day and night, the ordinary and absurd of everyday life, The Human Surge forms three distinct and yet entangled segments, interconnected by the subjects' relation to work, technology, space and time. Shot with three different cameras, the film evolves into a dynamic atlas, as it explores the relationality between networks of human and more-than-human nature on various scales across the globe. The film screening will be followed by a conversation with Eduardo Williams.

Part of the three-evening series They breathe, the celestials. which emerges from Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi’s Image List: Actions to Relate to Oneself and The World (2020), a dynamic atlas co-commissioned by Jade Barget for Nottingham Contemporary.
