Ellinor Aurora Aasgaard & Zayne Armstrong, Berlin
Artists Zayne Armstrong and Ellinor Aurora Aasgaard will introduce their experimental serial moving-image project Days, which emerged from a common need for alternatives to state and commercial media funding. The series is a fictional drama, based on the long-running, U.S. daytime television soap opera Days of Our Lives. Days aims to question the social imaginary of the ‘soap opera’ by substituting an abstracted Hollywood world with the specifics of contemporary Berlin. By establishing this series as an open-ended platform for collaboration, Days seeks ways to support an evolving community of the city’s filmmakers, artists and residents.
