Tickets $25. Join us for a multimedia reading of the first English-language edition of Chris Marker’s 1982 photo-essay on Japan, Le Dépays. Inspired by readings of the book organized in Paris and Tokyo over a decade ago, our reading is voiced by artists Midori Hirose and Matt Carlson and features live music by Spencer Doran of Visible Cloaks. Marker’s photography from Le Dépays—which offers a stunning portrait of his favorite country through its people, cats, and metros—will be projected behind the readers while Doran’s live compositions create an atmosphere of high summer in Tokyo. Followed by a rare screening of the book’s companion film, San Soleil (1983). Le Dépays will be available for purchase at the event.
