The Future is Calling, 2020
Anna Vasof

Bildunterschrift

One telephone calls another telephone independently. Old and new technology meet. The future does not call. Anna Vasof’s works invite us to discover the absurd world theatre behind the wishes and desires of everyday life. Her film experiments are translations of social desires. Improvised machines and technical aids are employed to exaggerate everyday actions. Vasof’s attempts and failures are narrative strategies that not only trace the supposed truths behind cinematic images, but also discover the poetic and comic elements of everyday life. Time loops and repetitions serve to open up alternative blind alleys: The future cannot take off. It is simply not here yet.
