About the project:

“The LAB” is a deconstruction. A laboratory of methods. A film production. An artist's studio. An office. A labyrith. A recruitment station. A discovery.

In 2010 Sepp R. Brudermann will shoot a film, a documentary experiment - "THE ARK EXPERIMENT". A film about a possible future, a film about the end of the world as we know it, nuclear war and collapse, about a permanent crisis and unknown possibilities, a film about fear.


Embrace your fear - YOU WILL SURVIVE


In the beautiful village of OOooOO there is the biggest self-made nuclear shelter in the world. During the LAB we are looking for 100 volunteers to go down into that shelter and pre-enact the end of the world next year. We are looking for "THE 100 SURVIVORS".

The “standard” rule of a film is that the viewer should not see the effort, the pain and the sweat that had been necessary to produce and direct it. The smoother the “better”. Embrace the audience in warm coat of feelings, catch them in the story and do not let go of the grip around their neck. No edges. No bumps. And we love it.

In the LAB the process of filmmaking will be deconstructed in a “life-action making of” of another kind. We will live and work in the gallery and challenge traditional research methods by tackling our subject from different angles using an eclectic choice of artistic media which in the end will result in a synergetic whole - the film. However, in The LAB the process matters. Come and see, read in our “library”, talk to us, eat canned beans with us and BECOME A SURVIVOR.


Every weekend this July and August there are events, dinners, parties, concerts and lectures. Check this space for updates on the schedule!

"The LAB" - from July 18th - August 28th 2009, Headbones Gallery Toronto 260 Carlaw Ave (off Queen St. East)
