Nightly Screenings Beginning at Dusk
Location: 39-31 29th St, Long Island City

Lily Baldwin’s film installation “Quick Slice” will screen every night in Flux Factory’s front window with free slices every Friday in June (limited pizza! First come, first serve).

This event is part of the exhibition Din Din, a series of free, socially-distanced outdoor events which use food and art to build community.

Film Description

“Quick Slice”, 23 minutes on loop, 2019

THINGS AREN’T WHERE THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE.

Nine lonely strangers converge over a quick slice inside a casual, no bullshit, non-committal community hub— the pizza shop. When a “contaigent” enters, dance turns inconsequential moments into idiosyncratic gestures, toggling between task and choreography. A subtle, disorientating use of editing techniques and photographic devices manipulating time craft a visceral and sonically rich dreamscape.

“Quick Slice” scales to respective environments, utilizing available architecture and unsuspecting surfaces. Caught between the character’s gaze, the viewer catches shards of the story projected onto their body. These seemingly accidental screenings encourage an unadulterated and kinesthetic reception of the project.
