weekender plays proud host to a new multiple screen installation from Brighton based artist Rachel Close…

Poetry and mystery…all that enlarges tangible reality" Luis Bunel

Deja vu moments; lost memories, familiar faces and new surroundings.
Walk through a dream, a nightmare, a poem, a day: all in the life of someone else.

In this four part video installation we hear from four women who all live on the margins in some way.
What happens when our worlds collide, when dreams merge into reality, when we can't see the gaps?

This drama-doc provides a unique platform for rarely heard voices-
with an injection of "poetry and mystery".

Rachel Close...biog

I am a female film maker/editor/visual artist. I was born in Romania and adopted as a baby and raised in Teeside. I have lived in Cyprus, Wales and now Brighton. I want to make films and art about women and their lives. I am interested in exploring notions of choice and freedom in relation to women. I believe in representing my subjects with dignity and i find films which sensationalise or moralise their subject matter boring. 
I love documentary but have recently been veering into the worlds of drama, visual art and photography. I hope to continue telling visual stories about people in the world around me. My inspirations include: Shirin Neshat, Larry Clark, Sean McAllister, Clio Barnard, Kimberly pierce & John Cassevettes
