Pure Reason

From Viennale

“I have planted some 200 lettuce plants. Now I am making broth and writing to you,” wrote poet Zofia Bohdanowiczowa in a letter to Józef Wittlin. Decades later, her great-granddaughter Sofia Bohdanowicz writes down exposure details and her movements inside a house and behind a Bolex: times, objects, songs playing, food prepared or eaten. PURE REASON taps into the variations of perception and experience explored in the work of Jaan Poldaas: a few colours he worked with become a way of sifting through the city and the home in order to examine how we live, see and hear.
