solaris | mendrek+zasada | 2006-2011
The drowsiness of a detail saturated with light. The sound of the oozing whiteness of a hot day. It’s noon , one can hear the cracking sound of cold water protecting its diversity. The pain on opening one’s eyes, the humming of light that rushes under the eyelids. Dark – light, cold – warm. The vibration of light. A white & white day carried to the end of the world in our subconscious. A rough mixture of sun, light and time – it comes to me when close my eyes.
Producing this feeling is the main goal of the solarisproject. A darkened room we enter drawing aside a heavy curtain attracted by a mysterious sound (experimental music made by wax & clarinet), we hear the humming of our feet on a sandy and gravely shore of a lake: an illusion, the beach-padded floor of a dark room. In the centre of the darkness, although the dimensions of the room are hard to determine in these conditions, a screening of light is taking place… the action of the film slowly unfolds on the screen and its main protagonist is the Sun. | pl
