Description
White on White is a film inspired by a failed 1920s collaboration between German filmmaker Hans Richter and Russian Suprematist painter Kasimir Malevich. In Sussman’s work, a group of artists escape from a closed movie set and attempt to gain access to the Baikonur Cosmodrome. There, they switch places with a group of scientists studying the element lithium, and are themselves the subjects of another documentary. Concerned with issues of surveillance and comprised of minute gestures within lush visual landscapes, White On White is also inspired by the concept and history of space travel and the primacy of science over art. The project will evolve over a series of improvisations by the artist’s collaborative ensemble, the Rufus Corporation.
