Carlos Casas’ Cemetery begins as the endangered elephant Nga and his mahout Sanra prepare for their last journey, soon to be tracked by poachers possessed by fables about a mythical elephant graveyard. As the poachers die mysteriously, one after another, the adventure film unfolds into a spacious cinematic experiment, carrying viewers to the ancient animal’s demise and far beyond. With the film’s allegorical passage through the stages of death, the indexical image is gradually subsumed by a rich sonic journey.
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
