Seni Tiga #02: Remnant Vision
Some people, artists especially, are born or trained to be sensitive to their surroundings. They are able to imagine the past and pick up traces to feel the presence of people, objects and activities that no longer inhabit our space, at the same time react and respond through arts.
Drawing inspiration from the memories embodied in each performer as well as the old warehouse, Remnant Vision is a cinematic journey about ‘what was’ and ‘what is’. Performers bring stories and add layers of meanings onto mundane objects and neglected corners, redefining the performing space by sharing experience with the audience.
