SUMMARY:Sophie Cundale: The Near Room
DESCRIPTION:Bonington Gallery is pleased to present The Near Room (2020)\, a new moving-image work by the artist Sophie Cundale (b.1987). \n\n\n\nThe Near Room is a supernatural melodrama about loss that follows the journey of a professional boxer after a near-fatal knockout. The boxer’s disorientations become entangled with the story of a queen living with Cotard delusion\, a rare neurological condition inducing the belief in and sensation of death. \n\n\n\nThe film’s title is taken from the boxer Muhammad Ali’s description of a vivid\, hallucinatory space he would enter when in the depths of a fight – “A door swung half open [into a room of] neon\, orange and green lights blinking\, bats blowing trumpets and alligators playing trombones\, snakes screaming. Weird masks and actors’ clothes hung on the wall\, and if he stepped across the sill and reached for them\, he knew that he was committing himself to his own destruction.” – George Plimpton\, Shadow Box (1977). \n\n\n\nThe boxing scenes were filmed at long established south London boxing club\, Lynn AC in Camberwell. The cast includes professional boxer John Harding Jnr.\, artist Penny Goring\, and actor Chris New. \n\n\n\nThe Near Room is commissioned and produced by Film and Video Umbrella with support from Arts Council England\, South London Gallery\, Bonington Gallery\, Curator Space and The Gane Trust. The film premiered at South London Gallery in April 2020 and due to COVID-19 was extended until September 2020. \n\n\n\nSophie Cundale (b.1987) lives and works in London. Her work has previously been commissioned by the Serpentine Galleries and the South London Gallery; screened at Temporary Gallery\, Cologne; Spike Island\, Bristol; Govett-Brewster Gallery\, New Zealand; Catalyst Arts and Amini festival\, Belfast; VCD festival\, Beijing and Innsbruck Biennale\, Austria; and hosted on vdrome.org. Cundale’s latest film The Near Room opened at South London Gallery in April 2020 and travels to Bonington Gallery\, Nottingham in October 2020. \n\n\n\nRunning time: 32 mins. \n\n\n\nContent Guidence\n\n\n\nPlease be aware that this film includes moments of violence and blood\, as well as sexual references which some viewers may find offensive and unsuitable for children. \n\n\n\n			\n\n				\n					\n				\n				Sophie Cundale\, The Near Room\, 2020.
