Broersen & Lukács, Margit Lukacs

Beyond Sunset & Sunrise

Fiction expérimentale | hdv | couleur | 28:30 | Pays-Bas, USA | 2013

The copy-paste mentality of the media and its audience is reflected in the film Beyond Sunset & Sunrise; a mosaic-film in which Broersen & Lukács connect scripts and characters from classic Hollywood movies such as ?Sunset Boulevard?, ?Badlands?, ?Wild at Heart?, ?The Last Picture Show? and ?All About Eve?, a range of films in which the protagonists struggle with their aspirations. Aspirations that eventually turn destructive. Shot entirely in Hollywood, this fictional network of a dream chasing community merges with the reality facing the ambitious actors; a no-man?s land between Los Angeles and Hollywood. A place where dreams define reality, and the dream is defined by reality.

Margit Lukács (Amsterdam, 1973) & Persijn Broersen (Delft, 1974) are artists living and working in Amsterdam and Paris. They work in a wide variety of media- most notably video, animation and graphics- producing a myriad of works that reflect on the ornamental features of today`s society. The work of Broersen & Lukács is characterized by a quest for the sources of contemporary visual culture. With intricate layers of depersonalization, re-mediation and re-interpretation they demonstrate how reality, (mass) media and fiction are strongly intertwined in contemporary society. Broersen & Lukács studied at the Sandberg Institute and at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. Their films, installations and graphic work have been shown internationally, including: Centre Pompidou Paris (FR), MUHKA Gent (BE), Coca in Torun (PL), Kunsthalle Tallinn (EST) and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Their films have been shown at film festivals worldwide including LAForum in Los Angeles (USA), Experimenta Media Arts Biennale (AUS), Kassel Dokumentar Film Festival (DE), Paris Rencontres (FR, ESP, DE), International Film Festival Rotterdam and the IDFA in Amsterdam (NL). Broersen & Lukács have been invited to participate in the 19th Sydney Biennale, 2014.
