Sculpt: Eye of the Duck – A Private Cinema Ritual
The film Sculpt: Eye of the Duck is currently being screened as part of the Dark Mofo winter festival in Hobart, Tasmania. Directed by Loris Gréaud, the experience is strictly one viewer at a time.
Only nine tickets are offered per day, with a total of 90 viewers expected during the entire festival run.
This marks the seventh iteration of the film, which first premiered at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2016.
The Experience
The event begins before the film even starts. Viewers are picked up by a black BMW, handed a dog tag and a card, then driven to the Playhouse Theatre.
Inside, they watch the film entirely alone. The narrative involves a stock market for emotional moments.
After the screening, a woman places a USB drive into the viewer's hand.
While the article includes one viewer's personal account, the primary focus remains on the factual setup of the event itself.
