Laurence Henriquez

film - writing - documentary - science & technology

Laurence Henriquez is a writer and filmmaker whose lens-based practice explores the confusion, alienation and unknowability of existence with a sense of humor and a feel for the macabre. He believes that the progress of culture depends on the vitality of the images we produce. Each generation needs images that are appropriate for their time. If we fail to aspire to such heights our species is as dead as the dinosaurs.

    Fin. finito. Infinity.

    Project

    • 26-10-2021 t/m 05-01-2022
    • Location: Canary Islands, Lanzarote
    • Straddling the liminality between documentary, satire and science fiction, Fin. finito. infinite. is a testament to the last day of light on “alien” planet whose civilization has known for 1000 years that its star would die out. Ironic detachment and poetic license are utilized to “lift the veil” off the everyday banalities of an island resort town, transforming it into a landscape of caprice and myth blissfully careening toward apocalypse. Premier at IFFR 2023
