arsenal on location – Sommerkino: SWEETGRASS

In the organizer's words:

silent green presents

The open-air screening of SWEETGRASS takes place on the occasion of the exhibition Breathing Matter(s) , which shows works by Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel in the concrete hall of silent green from 17.7. to 24.8. The exhibition will be accompanied by a program of films from the Sensory Ethnography Lab (SEL) as well as listening sessions, performances, public talks and workshops.

Sheep as far as the eye can see. Anthropologist and filmmaker Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Ilisa Barbash spent three summers in the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains documenting sheep farming on one of the last family-owned ranches. When a sheep eats, we see and hear the chewing movement and the sheep's bell. When it discovers the camera, its gaze freezes the image, only the wind can still be heard. The original sound contributes to the accuracy of each shot. During the shearing, we can literally feel the shepherd's physical effort and the sheep's drowsiness. The arrangement of views in the room analyzes the relationship of a newborn to the flock, the mother and the shepherdess. When thousands of sheep walk through a gate or follow the grass trail of a feeding machine, it looks like a mass scene from a monumental film.
