MIVC: Characters in Play

ResearchLabs 2025: MIVC: Characters in Play

Students from the Master Institute of Visual Culture began developing moving image projects through experimental character development and script writing with a core theme of Characters in Play by invited artist Josefin Arnell.

Through collaborative processes, complex characters have unfolded through an absurd chain of feverish dreams exploring deep and conflicting emotions. Characters go through healing efforts, pain is addressed and hope is searched for, attempting to tell auto-fictional personal stories through embodied collective processes.

When life gets lost into a blue filter she becomes invisible. The alienation is driving her to rage. The only thing that can release this pain is adrenaline.

Feeling invisible, there is absurdity in cultivating growth out of despair.

It feels like I’m losing my time, I’m invisible to your eyes, I’m alienated in your blue world which tastes like despair.

Lost in this world of despair, where we mostly feel broken inside, maybe forgiveness will come through growth.

Cultivating growth amidst the despair, alienness and absurdity of it all.

Invisible trauma screams the need for healing, the silent rage it usually exhibits due to feeling broken every day.

In the drama of despair, she felt the adrenaline of being lost and the thrill of sensuality.

In the fever dream of despair where absurdity drapes itself in blue the invisible threads of longing waves no eye can truly see.

When she is lost in the complex mundane, the power of forgiving heals her, this is her taoist cultivation.
