For his video There is a Future the Other Side of the Present: This Future is Abandoned, David C. Kane (Liverpool, United Kingdom, 1983) explores the concept of the future as mythology. The work consists of a series of video clips set to a non-diegetic soundtrack falling in and out of sync. Kane contemplates the collapsing of past-present-future temporalities while traversing new, weird terrains and the relationships between place, sound, and the psyche. What emerges is an audio-visual constellation of the future that is known and that which is unexpected, haunted by the past as present. Using darkness as a situational framework, the work is a call to confront that which is outside our usual systems of reference in order to consider the future as simultaneously ominous and seductive.
