Ame Henderson & Matija Ferlin: Show Gone

They turn the lights up. Then they turn the lights out. Each snap summons a new tableaux world fit for their back-and-forth of confession and revelation.

Ame Henderson and Matija Ferlin, surrounded by the hard evidence of political, social, and personal endings, have made a dance that exposes both the pleasure and impossibility of controlling the narrative.

Show Gone is a cinema of sentences. Instead of still images shown fast enough to give the illusion of life, it presents life-story fragments at human speed. From its endless endings gradually emerges the feeling of a beginning.
