Inner Space – Freediving from Obsession to Meditation
Screening The Deep – Underwater Cinema
Film screening as part of the Julian Charrière. Midnight Zone exhibition
Free admission, no booking required
To accompany the exhibition Julian Charrière. Midnight Zone, Museum Tinguely presents a programme of underwater films. On four evenings, each with its own theme, visitors can look forward to scintillating cinematic deep dives between science and fiction, introduced and curated by the media theorist, curator and writer Matthias Wittmann (Basel/Mainz/Vienna).
Inner Space – Freediving from Obsession to Meditation
Our transcultural comparison of free diving will comprise the documentary film Ama-San, in which Japanese ‘women of the sea’ of all ages engage in the rhythmic, meditative practice of diving for seafood, upholding an ancient tradition without recourse to breathing apparatus, and Le Grand Bleu, a French cult film of the 1980s in which the focus is more on extreme diving, the battle for the title of world champion, friendships and rivalries (in diving as in love), the romanticism of the underwater world, and imagined flights from the France of François Mitterrand.
