Крылья бабочки в Нью-Йорке, сирена воздушной тревоги в Лондоне, шум взлетающих самолетов в аэропорту Ниццы — героини это фильма, женщины, стоявшие у истоков авангардной электроники, вдохновлялись звуком в любых его проявлениях и искали в новых технологиях свободы от мужского мира академической музыки, где бы им всегда пришлось быть на вторых ролях.

Exploring some of the most remote and spectacular places on Earth, five pioneering scientists make surprising discoveries that flip our understanding of nature on its head, and offer new hope for restoring our world.

The film choreographically covers the distance between two women and their mirroring selves, under Laurie Spiegel's soundscape and with the ambiance of VHS video. Their bodies, sometimes two and others four, are always connected with a rope, influenced by white noise retro interference, sound scratches and pauses. They approach each other until they connect and then finally completely disappear, nullifying the distance between them. The reverse movement of these similar bodies-idols aims to compose a dance of the two and the one, our close and more distant self and to reach to the void in between them.

One of Paik’s most overtly political and poignant statements, Guadalcanal Requiem is a performance/documentary collage that confronts history, time, cultural memory and mythology on the site of one of World War II’s most devastating battles.

A narrative self-discovery theme done in real time in Art Nouveau style.
