The screen deceives the eye making it void of space while the camera imposes its own ideological agenda. HDV, 6:30 min, single channel with sound, 2021 Motorised, automated bodies facilitate our attempt to rationalise those technological bodies we increasingly don’t understand, a feeling intensified with each episode of intimacy we tender to.
Our tandems turn into tripartite bodies, chaotic, makeshift anatomies turn their anthropomorphised features into creatures we empathise with in our shared imagined spaces. Medium Bastard Amber will be performed for 360 mins in good visibility, for the public eye, inside the Arch of Casa Artelor, while the remaining # mins will be performed before the tense sightlines of private encounters, in-between blinks. It serves as an analogue device that carries out the loud voice of a rhetoric of sentient flesh, a technological bastard with a huge amount of human form around it.
Medium Bastard Amber is a birth name that stands for average intensity, hybrid origins and the coloration present in an LED light filter for the enhancement of the skin’s undertones, with consistent color results from batch to batch.

The film is guided by the changing and wavering voice of the poet, a voice completely independent from the body and at the same time in restless search for a physical host, following its presence around the fictitious and dreamlike set of a domestic interior. Through this exchange, the poet and the onlooker are collectively staging a particular sense of ‘publicness’, a certain type of relationship that relies heavily on the tension between the body and the voice, and has its source in practices of embodied poetry and writing. Public Figure is a lyrical account of a body in space, a metrical composition in which poet Ryan Ormonde is carefully observed and re-imagined by Zaharia’s cinematic eye.
