Melvin Moti : Hyperspace

4 Oct-20 Dec 2013

Overview

The Majestic (Leeds) reopens as a silent picture house for screenings of Melvin Moti's new film 'The Eightfold Dot.' Sited in the frenetic city centre, Moti's film offers viewers the chance to contemplate the fourth dimension: a geometrical space beyond human experience. A transcendental fantasy from the turn of last century, the idea of the fourth dimension preoccupied writers, artists, theosophists and mathematicians. Moti's 24-minute film is a narrative - about a dot, line, square, cube and hypercube - that moves from the symmetrical atomic structure of crystals to the outer most edges of our universe. From shadows to solids, 'The Eightfold Dot' seeks a visual language with which to render obscure phenomena perceptible as a projected moving image.
