EARTH MOVER (2024)
Single-channel digital video (4:3), colour, mono sound, 6m 40s
 
Thousands of miles apart, two holes are dug into the earth. This short film imagines an encounter between an inhabitant of the land above, and an inhabitant of the land below.

Ananda Kupfer is a filmmaker, sculptor and painter whose work explores continuities between the human and the non-human, the organic and the mechanical. Through his work, he aims to draw out a network of relationalities, of psychic mappings between himself and his surroundings. Ananda is interested in raw material, both the material making up his body and that which comprises the world around him. Recently, he has felt less that there is a meaningful distinction between the two.

ANIMAL BLUES (2024) Ananda Kupfer
ANIMAL BLUES (2024)
Clay, brass, cotton, electronics, tattoo; single-screen digital video on monitor, colour, sound on speaker, 3m 50s looped.

ANIMAL BLUES joins a short film and a sculpture. The work sits somewhere between an imagined utopian vision and a re-coding of our present relationship with our environment. For the purpose of watching the film, you may, if you wish, choose to believe in the reality of the world it presents.
