This experimental film makes use of geometry to explore the anthropological space latent in sensorial perception. The Ghost of Modernity puts two fundamental paradigms of modernity center stage: transparency and the cube. Referring to key moments in 20th-century art history, such as the ready-made, abstract geometric art and the specific objects of minimalism, the film questions ideological assumptions as well as the ambitions for art’s autonomy, both of which have come to define the modern impulse.
