Kieslers Körper

The architectural theorist Friedrich Kiesler designed a site for film projection that directs focus to the screen, allowing everything around it to be forgotten.

Drawing on quantum theory and geology, the film exposes the intrinsic omissions, distortions, and ecological impacts of image production and data extraction. From the interference patterns of neutrons to data centres and salt lakes, the film captures how our world's complexity collides with the simplified rationalities of the digital age.
