THE RARE EVENT

The Rare Event

Ben Rivers and Ben Russell

Switzerland/France/United Kingdom

2018

Film

Medium-length

Filmed in a rainy, wooden-floored Parisian recording studio at a three-day inaugural forum focusing on the multiple possibilities of Resistance (the title of Jean-François Lyotard’s unrealized 1983 exhibition, Les Immateriaux), occasional collaborators Ben Rivers and Ben Russell have produced what initially appears to be a structuralist document of a philosophical discussion in the round. This “dimension of appearance” is deceptive, of course, and with the aid of an immersive sound mix, a Green Man, a Green Man-shaped Infinite Void, a dose of kinetic digital wizardry, and an impressive cast of thinkers, critics, curators, and artists; a document of Resistance slowly transforms into The Rare Event—a portal that unites all dimensions into one.
