The artists will explore the history and specificity of the Black Mountain College and the elasticity of time through images of its past and utopian desires. “The Black Mountain” is a video project set on the historic place of the Black Mountain College in North Carolina, USA. The video will be based on stories, happenings and events which happened during the period of its activities (1933-1957).
