Join us at e-flux for a screening of John Bruce and Paweł Wojtasik's recent film End of Life (2017, 91 minutes), followed by Q&A with the filmmakers. End of Life is the product of four years spent by John Bruce and Paweł Wojtasik with five individuals at various stages in the process of dying. In preparation for this project, the filmmakers trained to be end-of-life doulas and documented hundreds of hours of interactions with their subjects. The Doula works with the dying person, along with those surrounding him or her, to help design, guide, and support their wishes for whatever a “good death” might mean for them.

Lovely Andrea follows the artist’s quest to find a bondage photograph she posed for while in Tokyo as a film student.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, a “global” art world began to form. Sure, there were already a number of world's fairs and established international biennials, but this would be different. From the 1990s onward, national boundaries would dissolve, centers and peripheries would level out, and the internet would host worldwide cultural exchange. In many ways this really did happen, but some other things also happened. As people and ideas began to move across borders, money did too.

Show extended: on view at e-flux through June 15, 2019 Hours: Tuesday–Saturday, 12–6pm

Shot in Guangzhou and Paris, After Reality is characterized by its translocal ambiguity. In the abandoned, suburban areas located between cities, people plant trees and vegetables, mixed in with weeds and shrubbery. Under the intercity overpasses, wildly overgrown vines and vegetation have completely covered dilapidated walls and tightly wrapped themselves around the land. Presented by Nikita Yingqian Cai.
