This August, ArtScience Museum and Objectifs present Dreams and Rituals: Selected Shorts from Objectifs’ Women in Film and Photography, a trio of short films that explore familiar myths and rituals that are often entangled with the interior, intimate lives of women.
- ArtScience Cinema, Level 4
Since the programme’s inception in 2015, the Objectifs Women in Film & Photography programme continues to highlight seminal works by visual storytellers.
In Home Economics with A Stubborn Bloom, Stephanie Jane Burt and Daniela Monasterios-Tan perform a tongue-in-cheek re-staging of texts from 1970s Home Economics Textbooks, revealing the extremes of femininity beneath a veneer of frills and ribbons. Dreams and reality are interwoven in Natalie Khoo’s a spider, fever and other disappearing islands, where a grandmother’s tale becomes entwined with the path of a spider spirit. In Pom Bunsermvicha’s Lemongrass Girl, on-set sexism subtly unfolds through a common ‘purity’ test in Thailand that is rooted in archaic beliefs.
Featuring a mix of genres that shift between docu-fiction and dark comedy, the stories in Dreams and Rituals playfully subvert linear narratives through soft, sometimes surreal aesthetics, reflecting life’s absurdity and irrationality.
Co-curated by ArtScience Museum and Objectifs.
This programme complements the exhibition, Goddess: Brave. Bold. Beautiful.
Total programme duration: 50 minutes
