See all- POLYGON GALLERY Hyperopia film & art exhibitPolygon Gallery, North Vancouver, BC
Let's watch this new, modern 55 min film & see a cool emerging artists exhibit first... Hyperopia responds to today’s overindulgence in & overconsumption of images & overuse of cellular phones to explore and consume the world.
The Polygon Gallery is hosting this screening performance as part of their Lind Biennial New Works exhibitThe film runs from 7 to 815ish pm.
Mena El Shazly’s film portrays a character’s monotonous daily practices performing repetitive rituals, while searching for patterns and their connections. Aren’t we all?
The screening includes improvisational scores performed live by BC violinist and composer Meredith Bates.
This sounds like a very interesting film piece and a fun, different way to start off the year! Please only rsvp for this event AFTER you have registered for your tkt.

More about Mena Shazly, the film & exhibit- Mena El Shazly is a visual artist who works with analogue video, embroidery, and performance. Her practice speculates on concepts of presence and transcendence, how these are informed by internet culture and ancient rituals, and how we might cultivate decay to arrive at alternative forms of transformation and regeneration.
- The Lind exhibit showcases emerging BC-based artists working in photography, film, or video mediums. Notice the contrasts of contexts, elements of change, emotion & curiousity in the works. https://www.createastir.ca/articles/lind-biennial-stir-splainer
