FILM SYNOPSIS
A cross-sected view of 16 people, 16 rooms, 16 private lives, Silent Room is an x-ray vision
of 16 interiors. In this film-poem, the room is felt from the inside. An interior steeped in
discontinuity, where unusual and poetic communications unfold wordlessly, through a
contamination of the senses. Rather than a story line, there is a set of tableaux vivants, each
crafted around a fixed idea,
an impulse, a void, a hunger for an ideal. Silent Room is a cinema of light and shadow, a
chamber cinema, wherein the most silent and least visible elements violently descend to
murmur its presence. In their work, the skoltz_kolgen artists use a fotocinetique approach
founded on the temporal fragmentation of action. To achieve this effect, several simultaneous
captation techniques were used, in confrontations of various vantage points. For a more
precise control of time, a battery of cameras were sequentially synchronized to take over
10,000 photographs, which were subsequently digitized and animated. The skoltz_kolgen cell
then developed digital frequency-sensitive image- generating software that instantaneously
shadows the audio track ∙ somewhat like a heartbeat monitor that shadows the frequencies
of a heartbeat, but in this case each frequency of sound can generate its image equivalent
Playing with interludes of this split-second synergy between sound and film, the music and
scoring express a state of affect within the rooms and the internal reality of the characters.
This is the film╞s narrative track. There is no dialogue to foster understanding or any
reassurances for the viewer. Instead, we remain in a state of controlled hypnosis.
Silent Room is an art object that defies classification ∙ a highly potent film of its time.
