ST2025 | The Bioscope

2025-02-19

Bioscope is a motion picture projector that transports us into worlds imagined, fantasised, mythologised, re-enacted, animated.


‘Bio’ means life / biography – the course of a person’s life. ‘Scope’ refers to the extent of an area / subject matter that something deals with.


Here we are recalling, remembering, retracing Bioscope as an archival space of nostalgia, play, curiosity, wonder and amazement. The Bioscope is a conversation with moving image as a geography of the possible, where we can situate our breath in the motion, choreography, framing of anti-disciplinary. It is unpacking breath and making worlds through breathless impulses from below. Film-makers and artists working with the moving image thrust our gaze, our ways of looking and seeing into the geography of the possible.
