INTERFEARS – VISUAL INSTALLATION

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31 – SUNDAY NOVEMBER 10
10:00–22:00
MOMus – Experimental Center for the Arts (Warehouse B1, Thessaloniki Port)

As part of the 65th Thessaloniki International Film Festival’s tribute to the work of the moving image artist Jesper Just (p. 134–141), his most recent work Interfears (2023), is presented as an art installation on the ground floor of MOMus–Experimental Center for the Arts. In this piece, which explores the emotional landscape of an actor’s brain, Matt Dillon rehearses a monologue tied in an fMRI scanner while the machine records and maps his brain waves into 2D and 3D representations. Combining the depiction of emotions with fMRI technology, the film examines emotions as cultural goods with a detached look, and assesses emotional representations as artificial – whether they are acted out by an actor or captured by a machine.
