Soon It Will Be Dark

Synopsis

Life on the island follows the changing pace of day and night. Where the only road seeps into the forest, the air gets warmer, more humid in the dense undergrowth. His work in the shade of tall trees is accompanied by the sounds of nature. At night, at the other end of the road, his loneliness is softened by the voices of the others, next to the warming fire, until the first light.

Director Biography

In her photography and installations, Isabell Heimerdinger plumbs the borders between authenticity and simulation, fiction and reality, the artificial and the genuine. At the center of her artistic work stand the world of cinema and the medium of film. For some years Heimerdinger has been more intensely occupied with the figure of the actor and the medial staging thereof. Here, she thematizes the dialectic of the pose and "real" expression, of role and identity, emotion and imitation.
