Capture

Metahaven
2022

Capture was created in 2022 by Metahaven, co-commissioned by Kunsthall Trondheim, Screen City Biennial and Arts at CERN. With additional support from KORO and Arts and Culture Norway. Arts at CERN is supported by UNIQA Fine Art Insurance, Switzerland. This film was supported by the Netherlands Film Fund. Additional support from La Palma Escuela de Cultura e Instituto canario de desarrollo cultural. Metahaven’s Capture (2022) draws on the vast film archive of CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics) in a visceral first-person narration exploring the relationship between art, anthropology, and the philosophy of science. With references to Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Alexander Vvedensky, and David Albert, the viewer is led to a particle accelerator amid footage from the slopes of La Palma’s active volcanic range, Cumbre Vieja, and lichen filmed in the vicinity of Trondheim. According to curator and writer Stefanie Hessler, Capture “grapples with fundamental questions concerning reality, knowledge, and consciousness in both speculative and deeply implicated ways.”

About the artist:
Founded in the late 2000s by Vinca Kruk and Daniel van der Velden, Metahaven are known for their interweaving of information technologies, geopolitics, and philosophy, as well as poetry, fiction, and storytelling. Through their pioneering, yet subtle, future-forward practice, they explore the uncharted and undeclared regimes of visual culture, being one of this domain’s most compelling voices. Metahaven has established a remarkable presence with solo exhibitions at esteemed institutions including ICA, London; MoMA PS1, New York and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and group shows including the Gwangju Biennale and Sharjah Biennial, among others.
