UNTITLED (LOVE)

Untitled (Love) is a short experimental film inspired by Félix González-Torres’ Untitled (Perfect Lovers). González-Torres’ work presents a poetic reflection on love, time, and fragility through the quiet symbolism of two synchronized clocks. Untitled (Love) reinterprets these themes through creative editing and sound approaches. 

Told entirely through the interaction of two hands, the film explores the complexities of intimacy, communication, and dissonance. Using only gesture and touch, the piece unravels its emotional narrative through experimental editing.

Sound plays an integral role in the film’s narrative structure. The piece was accompanied by a live scoring conducted and semi-composed by Lucia Dwyer. Performed by a full digital ensemble, Conor Bourgal, Jonathan Crean, Kevin Saunderson and Paul Clifford, the score is a sonic improvisation of created and collected sounds. This sonic landscape evolves in response to the visual gestures, creating a dialogue between movement and music.

At its core, Untitled (Love) explores the beauty and impermanence of shared time.

Untitled (love) premiered at CineSalon Experimental Film Festival 2024.
