Synopsis


Hysteresis explores the lag between recording analogue drawings and projecting them onto a queer performer’s choreography to create dense feedback loops. The resulting Muybridgean silhouettes, baroque textures and bursting painterly structures fluctuate between the second and third dimensions, unfolding free-floating gestures that unhinge the laws of nature. Using machine-learning to mediate these transformative re-presentations, the film intentionally corrupts strategies of the AI, unveiling a frenetic, delicate, flamboyant visual language of the hysteria and hysteresis – in this historical moment with its unique modes of AI creation, where history collapses into a single point in the present.

Robert Seidel
