An isolated society evolves on the outskirts of the city, living by its own rules. The characters move in spaces where artwork is arranged in small shrines so people can make their rituals. In search of an elsewhere, a possible escape and filled with a desire for emancipation and liberation, they invoke their body’s felt sense to find freedom. The film questions the absurdity of the system and its relationship to control. In this world on the verge of collapse, people, nevertheless, find their way to a new enlightenment.
Beatus is a film and an exhibition directed by Lisa Boostani. It took place in the center of art residency Poush Manifesto in Clichy. As a metaphor from another world, the scenography recreates the living spaces of a fictitious society through a set of four rooms – the bedroom, the dining room, circuit and meditation space.
