A reconstruction of Tilda Swinton's 1980s London flat and an exploration of memory, space and personal history.

From outside, the world seeps into the ear, threatening with all its possibilities, live and in color. So better to turn around once more, close your eyes, and keep on dreaming. Yet reality is harsher: Pull yourself together! Open the window! That window which grants surprising insights from astonishing perspectives, and which also opens in the cinema, that place of unexpected answers to unasked questions. With precision and perfection, Joanna Hogg shapes that threshold moment of unrest and resistance, followed by the realization that nothing better could possibly have come to mind in order – finally! – to move and to act.
