The US duo went “back to the land”, relocating to rural Ohio, to create this work, which was started in late 2016 (the duo build their own sets). It is based on a “haunted map”, a surreal, creepy location with a life of its own. Here, the viewer walks through a sound installation enclosed in a caged walkway across the foundation’s courtyard, before being deposited in a hobby barn to watch the main event, a feature length film, Plot Front (2019) . It’s certainly a sensory assault this biting jump-cut satire and territorial tensions and the conflict between the urban and rural dominate. This is thanks in part, Trecartin says, to “some drama” with their neighbour in Ohio during the filming which resulted in “a lot of content around concepts of territory, property and land”. Consequently, he says, “the movie got a lot darker.” Production shot fromWhether Line by Lizzie Fitch and Ryan Trecartin Courtesy of the artists and Fondazione Prada You have viewed 2 out of 3 articles v t 3 t c Register s to increase your limit or sign in n if you've already registered or are a subscriber By using The Art Newspaper website you agree to the use of cookie as described in our Cookie Policy.
