PASSING is the new short film from UK-based artist Jo Bannon. You are invited to pay attention to the barely visible but highly choreographed ways in which we all perform, or pass, on stage and in everyday life. 🐇🪄🃏
Watch Augusto, a sleight of hand magician, and Sindri, a visually impaired dancer, as they unveil the magic of their hands, a virtuosity in their movements. It is a strange duet, a funny kind of twinning, a kinship. Their skill is to appear at ease, to pass as if they’re not doing anything remarkable at all.
PASSING experiments with sensory modes of seeing, including audio description, tactile cinematography, ASMR sound design and close up choreographies to disrupt the primacy of vision by proposing a more embodied, up close and personal mode of ‘seeing’.
Guided by Jo’s offbeat humour, ongoing fascination with objects and how strange the ordinary world really is, PASSING beckons you to take a peek behind the pink, velvet curtain.
PASSING is commissioned by The Space, made possible thanks to funding from Arts Council England. Supported by Unlimited and Wellcome Collection.
