La Dépendance Screenings at InfoSpace
19.12 2025

Compiled by Nicoleta Apperti*
It began with a simple impulse: to set a stage. How to set a stage through wonder, story and observation? I wandered through rooms and the landscape surrounding La Dépendance, attempting to hold onto something ephemeral in the space.
There was a sense that time wasn’t moving forward, exactly, but rather passing through. I encountered the quiet remnants of bodies and gestures that had lived here before. These encounters created a kind of layered ecology, where memory and presence coexisted in the same suspended breath. I wanted to bring together an evening that lets us question what it means to replicate something: a word, a scene, a fleeting moment. Replication isn’t just repetition – it’s interpretation, distortion, attention.
I began to see this evening as a meditation on how replication and observation inform each other, how they attempt to pin down what is constantly slipping away.
Let’s set a stage that is both fixed on a meditative mechanism yet also one that drifts freely through both story and the moving image… Enjoy the light flickers and sounds you may or may not hear.
The Script
Read by the Narrator, the Ghost, the Scene Description and the Horse.
55 mins with a short intermission
The reading, written in the format of a film script yet flows in a kinetic sense of prose, is apart of the inquiry into time and poetic documentary. It touches on how we might share a space with ghosts, animals, the planets overhead, and the humans who pass through. Each leaving singular traces and permanent markings that alter the atmosphere,but also remind us that to observe is also to be seen.
Deep in the Mirror Embedded (1965)
Storm de Hirsch
14 mins
Pulled from Storms’ collection Mythology of the Soul, this film is a poetic impression of the lens (the viewer) moving through a house. We touch on the reflections of windowpanes, get caught in natures devices, and then eventually drift off into tiny corners of intimacy. It creates an introspective sensation, as if you are watching a thought or memory unfold that is neither yours nor mine,
yet it somehow feels deeply familiar.
Blast Furnace (2024)
Giuseppe Boccassini
9 mins
Blast Furnace (2024) feels like Boccassini stripping cinema down to its bare pulse.
A tight burst of black-and-white film that moves more like a force than a narrative. The images flicker and press forward, all grain and glare, like they’re breathing ontheir own evoking a primordial atmosphere. Its industrial, mechanical churn has a strangely
meditative pull, yet underneath it there’s a quiet turbulence, the simmering of a storm. As if you’ve brushed up against something elemental, brief but strangely physical.
