Time, cinematic space, and forgotten myths are the main themes explored in Clemens von Wedemeyer’s project The Cast, receiving its UK premiere at Tate Modern.
The various sections of the multi-part work will be presented alongside a discussion with Clemens Von Wedemeyer and Christa Blümlinger, critic, curator and professor of film studies at the University Vincennes-Saint-Denis Paris 8. The project is the result of research conducted by the artist in Rome in 2013. The Cast recalls at the same time the production process of sculptures (the casting of forms) and the selection of actors (casting).
