Sasha Litvintseva and Beny Wagner are artists, filmmakers, researchers and writers. They’ve been working collaboratively in moving image, text, and lectures since 2017. Focusing on moving image as a tool for the active production of new worlds, their practice has been driven by questions about the thresholds between the body and its surroundings, knowledge regimes and power, modes of organizing and perceiving the natural world.

In this presentation, they we will discuss ongoing concerns through two recent films: A Demonstration (2020), which focuses on Early Modern taxonomies of monsters, and Constant (2022), a social and political history of measurement standardisation, in order to approach innovations in the new field of art/archaeology, disturbing standard practices of archaeology and the heritage industry, which aim to uncover meaning and to reconstruct patterns of past human behaviour.
