Two films – The Jump and Don't Look at the Finger – from Jarman Award 2019 winner Hetain Patel screen as part of Strange Love Festival.
Hetain Patel's major moving-image work from 2017 Don’t Look at the Finger shows as part of the exhibition. The film follows a ceremonial ‘fight’ between two protagonists, a man and a woman, in the grand architectural setting of a church. The way the characters communicate is a feat of choreography that combines Kung Fu with signed languages to express a ritualistic coming together.
