Recently screened at the VPB program of the 77th Venice Film Festival, 'Winter Orbit' is a slow cinema monument to the lockdown of COVID-19 from Australian artist Shaun Wilson who has positioned models into poses located in German medieval paintings from the Black Plague era to recontextualise new spaces both in terms of a ‘memory’ of the former and invite questions as to the meta-validity of memory versus the post- sustainability of simulacra.
