Untitled (perfect human) is a mesmerizing digital film by interdisciplinary choreographer and video artist, Dean Moss. Referencing Jørgen Leth’s 1967 Danish cult film, The Perfect Human, Moss reimagines Leth’s “empty” white space as a seductive kaleidoscopic world of flesh folding in on itself, offering wry observations of race, materialism, and spirituality.
On December 1, playwright, director, and filmmaker, Young Jean Lee, will join Moss for a screening of this new work. Building on their long standing artistic relationship they will engage in a live discussion of the film’s making, sharing insights on how their relationship grew from mentorship to collaboration, plus take questions from the audience.
Accessibility: Please email seta@danspaceproject.org to request CART live captioning or any other access requests. Requests should be submitted by November 9.
