Summary A thought-provoking 35mm film installation, Adrian Paci's Per Speculum draws upon cinema and myth to reflect upon narratives of exile, flight and resistance. In the opening scenes, a group of children are presented in an idyllic landscape setting, the reality of which is suddenly shattered and fractured. The second half of the film sees the community of child actors congregate in a majestic tree, reflecting the sun's rays back towards the camera, blinding us in the process. As flashes of light rhyme with the clapping of the projector, the strobing, flickering effect is definitional of cinema, whilst evoking universal themes found in classical art.
