Sounds by Aki Onda
Projecting 16mm footage with 35mm slides onto a painting, Tehran-born, Brooklyn-based artist Raha Raissnia creates a deepened sense of immersion in an alien landscape, while Aki Onda's soundscape of field recordings challenge the boundaries of the picture plane, and explore the power of imagination.
