Purgatory is a trailer for a film that will never be made: It is a preview to (your own) death! A sensory bombardment, which in true Hollywood style imitates the trailer format’s extremely dense, albeit diffuse language, which never reveals the contours of an actual narrative. Shot at night inside J&K’s installation The Perfect Stage a person awakes and finds herself dead. Visions appearing in the dark world show members of a mysterious society trying to create a perfect world through rituals in nature. Are these visions of a past or future life and can the dead protagonist have any influence on the course of action? The work explores how death or destruction can be regarded as a state of potentiality that may lead to new creation. Addressing overwhelming topics such as death and perfection through experiments and fragments corresponds to how a trailer for a non-existent film makes use of film language without arriving at a finished product. The film will never exist in its entirety, just like death and perfection can never be fixed nor understood.
