Such a Morning
Art of the Real 2018
April 26 - May 6, 2018
A well-off math professor gives everything up to live in a train car in this minimalist meditation on modern existence.
Introduced by Amar Kanwar. On Sunday, April 29 join Kanwar for an Artist Spotlight.
In this thoughtful meditation on modern existence, a well-off math professor gives everything up to live in a train car. Amar Kanwar’s dialogue-free film tells its tale through intertitles, letters, and minimal on-screen action. As the ascetic professor goes about his daily routine or just wanders around inside the car, Kanwar proves himself a master of light and shadow, making every small gesture into a simple, powerful image. Originally the centerpiece of an installation at Documenta 14, Such a Morning questions what it means to be truly in the moment. New York Premiere.
