20/20 VISION: THINKING PLACENTALLY

20 May is the day I am fabled to have been conceived.
— Bianca Baldi

I’m interested in the placenta, the real mother of us all, forgotten, discarded. The softest machine, all lipids and blood, that blooms and rots like any vegetal/floral martyr.
— Steve Reinke

We are very happy to announce that we are adding two films by Bianca Baldi to our collection: Play White (2019) and Hear her calendar system a year of thirteen months (2025). To mark the occasion, we have invited the artist to select a film from the argos collection to screen alongside her own on the 20th of May. She remembers having seen The Natural Look by Steve Reinke in Berlin over 10 years ago and yet the work still resonates with her today. In the spirit of resonances and dialogues across time, it is with one quote of each artist that we are presenting the next 20/20 Vision screening. Join us for an evening dedicated to life and history as open narratives, fuelled by fleeting experiences, unexpected interconnections and embodied memories.
