Lucy Beech

Join us at @efluxscreeningroom on Monday, March 16 at 7pm for “Viscosities,” a special screening of three moving image works by Lucy Beech @lucybeech that explore relationships between waste, creativity, and transformation, followed by an in-person discussion with the artist. Viscosity is a measure of resistance to flow. In Lucy Beech’s work, it becomes a way of thinking with substances that do not simply flow, but thicken, adhere, and, in that process, accumulate meaning. Beech’s films and videos track the infrastructural life of matter, how bodies and environments are managed through substances, and how that management produces residue that cannot be fully cleared, in writing as much as in industrial and ecological work. The program brings together Warm Decembers (2023, 27 minutes), A Map of the Pit (2025, 12 minutes), and excerpts from Hymnal (2025, approx. 20 minutes total), three collaborations that approach these concerns through different materials and forms.

The Infinite Now • Seeing Field Seeing Field is a 30-hour program of film and video marking out a zone of moving time and image within the architecture of Kraftwerk. A suspended screen projects its light onto a mattress that mirrors its scale, creating a space defined as much by drifting attention as by sustained focus. Over thirty continuous hours, films and videos pass overhead without interruption. To move through this field is to encounter a density of perspectives, temporal demands, and partial views.
 The programme sequences works that function through various rhythms and durations. A watchman is observed through the night; a sunset is documented for a worker who never encounters it directly. Communes and disasters unfold in real time, their worlds inhabited simultaneously by the historical and the immediate. Bodies move through water, ruin, and light at speeds that belong to the geological or cellular. The programme runs through distinct phases, dusk, night, dawn, day and a second dusk, with the architecture of Kraftwerk opening and closing around the audience as the hours pass.

“Our collaboration was a feast of unknown forms, a new process of crafting meaning. We spoke so much about the film’s medley of ideas and body of texts, both found and written, and I got to voice them – not only as a poet, but as narrator and witness. Seeing it all pulled together, the resulting essence is one of deep curiosity and contemplation, fantastically compressed in your final cut. The collaboration of poetic and visual language is expansive and overflowing.” Artist Lucy Beech (@lucybeech ) and poet Logan February (@loganfebruary ) discuss containment and porosity, thresholds and doorways, environmental time, and ‘Out of Body’ – their collaborative film tracing hidden waste streams and more-than-human entanglements, soon to be presented in the New Museum’s (@newmuseum ) exhibition ‘New Humans: Memories of the Future.’ Photography by Benedicte Sehested (@benedicte_gyldenstierne )

Reality video is out today! directed and edited by @lucybeech (you may recognize the scene from Hymnal’s live visuals) truly all of the universe, nature, our bodies, are for us to embrace and enjoy. we are so blessed to exist in this timeline and on this planet. the underlying principles of our reality are love and desire, made into physical form. and after every storm, and following each difficult night, the sun comes to us again as a friend. the pulse of life emerges again and again from impossibility, even against our own will. directed and edited by @lucybeech DOP @ronnie.mcq additional DOP @steveoconnor assistant editor and colour @manuaguilarv full video on YouTube - link in bio @pop.soil @7k_music

Join us on Tuesday, October 7 at 7pm at @efluxscreeningroom for the sixth installment of Economies of Love, presenting Yorgos Lanthimos’s Alps (2011, 93 minutes) preceded by Lucy Beech & Edward Thomasson’s Together (2017, 10 minutes). This screening turns to situations when emotional and physical attachment is carried by stand-ins. Both works stage rituals of replacement in which what cannot truly be exchanged—desire or grief—is nonetheless acted out. In Alps, a clandestine group of people start a business where they impersonate the recently deceased in order to help their clients through the grieving process. The process depends on strict rules, contracts, and deliverables, but soon exposes the instability of standing in for what cannot return. Whereas in Together, a group of performers engage in a dance-based game to produce the sounds of body blows without the actual contact between bodies, replacing action with its signals and constructing a charged therapeutic atmosphere.
