Disorder: about the creative process of an experimental film

Abstract

This is not the first time that Maria João Guardão and I collaborated with each other, but it is the first time that we decided to create something together: a film. Disorder’s point of departure is the installation “Square Disorder” (Appleton Square, Lisbon, 2008), the installation “Rectangle Disorder” (Leal Rios Foundation, Lisbon, 2014) by Susana Mendes Silva and the performances created by Susana Mendes Silva and Miguel Pereira — “#1 [preview]”, “#2 [instruction manual]” and “#3 [finissage]” — with sound by Jari Marjamäki. The final result is a combination of an intense coauthorship project that was developed almost as choreography between a film-maker and a visual artist.
