The Cloud of the Unknowing

Overview

The Cloud of Unknowing is a sort of surreal drama in which eight characters are enveloped by a mysterious cloud. It’s moody, atmospheric and engrossing. The video screens on the hour and half hour, and the enormous beanbags are worth the trip alone.

Ho Tzu Nyen is a multidisciplinary artist interested in combining elements of Eastern and Western culture. He says, ‘I wanted to make a film that’s packed dense with so many references that everyone can draw their own visions and hallucinations out of the same source.’

The Cloud of the Unknowing is showing as part of the 5th Auckland Triennial.
