Music of the Lost Cities, a video by
Chris Brown and Johanna Poethig, is an electronically animated shadow-play, inventing a futurist epic by drawing on the free association of sounds, images and text. The 30 minute piece evolved over 4 years of travels and performances in Southeast Asia, India and California, with residencies at Harrison House in Joshua Tree and premiere at Transi(en)t Manila 2014, Project Glocal. This psycho-geographical narrative explores time through imaginary characters“the sub-colonials” who have reemerged in an innocent and suspended state navigating by sound in their media dreams through a post apocalyptic/futurist/familiar world of ruined landscapes.
