Hour of Prayer | Ahtila

[ English ]
Last Saturday I saw a bit of Eija-Liisa Ahtila's The hour of prayer, at the MCASD, "a short tale about attachment and death that is based on the artist's own life" shown in four simultaneous projections. The material is split into four parts and the story has been edited to unfold on four screens. The intention is to explore the possibilities of disrupting the traditional causal logic, structure, and space for perception in screen narrative.
