Discoteca Flaming Star

07.10 – 15.10.2022

Turn Around For Here is an exhibition by Discoteca Flaming Star that unfolds as a sequence of orchestrated situations. Discoteca Flaming Star welcomes the audience with a poem appearing spray painted up the wall of the elevator shaft all along the elevator ride. Colored lights and a film projection transform GUTS into an uncertain night-life environment. Rooted in Discoteca Flaming Star’s long-standing engagement with expanded cinema and collective forms of authorship, the exhibition treats film as an event that is activated through its surroundings.

The exhibition opened with the complete spatial staging in place, and its performative dimension unfolded a week later during the finissage. Discoteca Flaming Star reactivated the silent film A Second Attempt for a Violent Silent Movie Without Camera through live sonorization. By pairing the same film with different soundtracks, the performance proposed multiple readings of a single sequence, understanding meaning as something produced through repetition, variation, and collective experience. Instead of presenting autonomous objects, Discoteca Flaming Star composes an open score in which visitors, film, light, and sound are active participants in the work.
