Pareidolia Live Extracts

Pareidolia is a live expanded cinema performance by BIGUM+BJÖRGE.

The performance is named from the psychological phenomenon of perceiving meaning, faces, forms, patterns, where none objectively exist.

This instinctive act of seeing conjures a space where imagination overrides information, where the mind seeks symbols in the unknown.

Using 16mm film projectors, handmade slides, mechanical shutters and layered analogue projection techniques, Pareidolia unfolds as a live performance of light, image, and sound.

“Pareidolia” is an exploration of how nature feeds the human imagination, beyond facts, beyond certainty, into poetic perception.
