Videoart at Midnight #48: Candice Breitz Friday, Oct 25th, 2013, 24:00 | midnight BABYLON, Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Berlin, big cinema hall (Eintritt frei | admission free) Candice Breitz will be present to screen footage from a selection of works that have never before been exhibited in Berlin, including: Treatment (2013, German premiere) Commissioned by the Toronto International Film Festival 2013, this new dual-channel installation brings an original soundtrack to three key scenes from The Brood (1979), a film that David Cronenberg has often described as his most autobiographical. Each of the scenes—now severed from the plot of the original film—invites us to voyeuristically observe a therapeutic exchange between maverick psychotherapist Dr Hal Raglan and one of his patients. Breitz riffs on Cronenberg’s exploration of the self-perpetuating psychological horror that lies potential in family relationships: the artist, her parents and her therapist lend their voices to the three scenes to create the new soundtrack.
