Semalu


sdn

Jimmy Hendrickx
Belgium, Malaysia

2013 | 0:15:00

Semalu, which means sensitive plant in Malay, is a cinematic portrait of the abandoned children of Cheras, a suburb in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A place in a process of modernization. Between a noisy landscape of construction works we see the next generation grow up. The ancestors of these children came here to build a new future. 30 years ago this territory was still jungle and swamp. Far away from the jungle this will be be the kids’ new urban residence. Semalu is a dark, yet magical journey along their concrete playground.

Being human is a fragile and fleeting opportunity to experience life and the universe around us. In the face of overwhelming darkness all we can do is to rely on and find solace in one another.

Sookoon Ang works with various mediums, including video, installation, drawing and printmaking. She majored in sculpture in School of Visual Arts, New York and has participated in the Rijksakademie Artist Research Residency in Amsterdam. Her work addresses both the physical and metaphysical world— the space where we physically dwell and the interior space within us that is our spiritual, emotional and imaginative world, and how these two worlds reflect and have an effect on each other.

Yaar

Simon Gillard

2013 | 0:20:00


Yaar, in the heart of the bush where the gravel is hollowed, a stubborn civilisation hunts out its future below the earth's surface. Blind, or perhaps all too seeing, they dig away, night and day, spurred on by the madness that drives man to his death.

In the middle of the Mojave Desert, a city of neon shimmers like a mirage. But the closer you get, the more you see through the false image. The glitz, glamour and gambling are all just smoke and mirrors. At the peak of the economic crisis, three Las Vegas residents find their luck has run dry and struggle just to get by.
