The fourth project of CATALOGUE OF DISGUISE: the film „ALOW“ (28min) directed by TANJA BOMBACH – a hallucinatory nightmare characterized by pervasive anxiety, loss of control and trepidation luring under the surface of three different escapist encounters.

我们很高兴地宣布《混乱目录》的第四个项目:由TANJA BOMBACH执导的电影《ALOW》(28分钟)–一个以普遍的焦虑、失控和惶恐为特征的幻觉噩梦,在三个不同的逃避性遭遇的表面下引诱。

This underground tale explores feelings of restlessness and overstimulation in a fragmented way. It examines uncertainty as a collective state of mind, simultaneously haunted by notions of a lost past and anticipated future.


这个地下故事以一种零散的方式探讨了不安和过度刺激的感觉。它将不确定性作为一种集体的精神状态来研究,同时被失去的过去和预期的未来的概念所困扰。

Purposefully SHOT and edited in long takes with its raw cinematic quality, the film intentionally creates a first-person view to emphasize a subjective experience of a dream-like sequence in contrast to the theatrical staging.

本片特意采用长镜头拍摄和剪辑,具有原始的电影质量,有意创造出第一人称视角,以强调一种与戏剧舞台形成对比的梦境般的主观体验。

This IMMERSIVE journey breaks down the underlying wish for escapism while experiencing a fickle and unsettling relationship with reality.

这段沉浸式的旅程打破了逃避现实的基本愿望,同时体验到与现实的无常和不安的关系。

Wielding a multidisciplinary arsenal of performance, sound and fashion, ALOW combines and bends characteristics of genres between arthouse, fashion FILM, screen dance and slow horror.

挥舞着表演、声音和时尚的多学科武器,ALOW结合并弯曲了文艺片、时尚FILM、银幕舞蹈和慢速恐怖之间的流派特征。

Collections made for this film by LAURA GERTE, DON ARETINO and TANJA BOMBACH blend with choreographies by PHOENIX CHASE-MEARES and JOS MCKAIN developed with ten dancers.

LAURA GERTE、DON ARETINO和TANJA BOMBACH为本片制作的作品集与PHOENIX CHASE-MEARES和JOS MCKAIN与10位舞者共同编排的舞蹈相融合。

ENJOY THE TEASER! If you missed the premiere at Traumabar Berlin – We gonna announce asap the video lands online full length, stay tuned!

The exclusive screening was hosted by CATALOGUE OF DISGUISE at TRAUMA BAR UND KINO, where the film was shot. During the event, there will be an immersive sound installation inspired by the film and after the screening a DJ-set by the sound artist SIMONE ANTONIONI, who created the music and sound of ALOW. The soundtrack will be released under the independent Berlin-based record label VERLAG later this year including a remix by ZIúR.

独家放映将由CATALOGUE OF DISGUISE在TRAUMA BAR UND KINO主持,该电影就是在那里拍摄的。在活动期间,将有一个受电影启发的沉浸式声音装置,在放映结束后,由声音艺术家SIMONE ANTONIONI进行DJ表演,他创造了《ALOW》的音乐和声音。原声带将于今年晚些时候在柏林的独立唱片公司VERLAG下发行,包括ZIúR的混音版。

1. Tell us about your background. What’s your journey? How did you choose the inspiration to create CATALOGUE OF DISGUISE?

My background was fashion before I became an interdisciplinary director and started working within the fields of performance, music and film. I founded the transdisciplinary project series CATALOGUE OF DISGUISE in 2018 with the idea of dealing with topics of choreographed identities in times of the internet and escapism translated into performances, installations and videos. 

1.告诉我们你的背景。你的旅程是什么?你是如何选择灵感来创作《DISGUISE CATALOGUE》的?

我的背景是时尚,然后成为跨学科导演,开始在表演、音乐和电影领域工作。我在2018年创立了跨学科项目系列CATALOGUE OF DISGUISE,想法是处理互联网时代的编排身份和逃避现实的话题,并转化为表演、装置和视频。


2. How did you connect with the people that you worked on the project? What was essential to create such a interesting concept and output? 

In the beginning of each project I develop a concept and then start putting a team together to realize it. In case of ALOW, the concept was loosely inspired by the cyberpunk novel Vurt by Jeff Noons with its dark and nightmarish mood.  Essential for me is always to really connect all of these mediums with each other – like for example when I think of a performative sequence, I think immediately of an outfit and of the music. My approach is always to layer those elements and dissolving the boundaries between the different disciplines.

2. 你是如何与你在这个项目上工作的人联系的?什么是创造这样一个有趣的概念和产出的关键? 

在每个项目的开始,我都会制定一个概念,然后开始组建一个团队来实现它。就《ALOW》而言,这个概念的灵感大致来自于Jeff Noons的赛博朋克小说《Vurt》,它具有黑暗和梦魇般的氛围。  对我来说,最重要的是真正把所有这些媒介相互联系起来–例如,当我想到一个表演序列时,我立即想到服装和音乐。我的方法总是将这些元素分层,并消解不同学科之间的界限。


3. Gear talk 😉 What’s your favourite equipment?

I love to work with a gimbal, because the camera can create its own choreography in connection to the movement of the performers in front of it.

3. 装备谈话 😉 你最喜欢的装备是什么?

我喜欢用万向节工作,因为摄像机可以根据前面表演者的动作创造自己的编排。


4.  What’s your connection & friendship between CATALOGUE OF DISGUISE & TRAUMABARUNDKINO? 

CATALOGUE OF DISGUISE was shown in the last years at Trauma and the venue created the fertile ground for doing the project series, as it supported with the necessary facilities. In there I was able to experiment and explore different formats. But as CATALOGUE OF DISGUISE is its own entity, it will be also shown at different places in the future. 

4.你在《混乱之书》和TRAUMABARUNDKINO之间有什么联系和友谊? 

CATALOGUE OF DISGUISE在过去几年中在Trauma展出,这个场地为做这个项目系列创造了肥沃的土壤,因为它有必要的设施支持。在那里我能够尝试和探索不同的形式。但由于《混乱的目录》是它自己的实体,它也将在未来的不同地方展出。


5. Plans for future? What are you up for upcoming year?

Later this year the soundtrack of ALOW will be released under the independent Berlin-based record label VERLAG.And besides planning on further projects, some other exciting things are coming up – so definitely keep an eye out for more to come.

5. 未未来的计划?你来年有什么打算?

今年晚些时候,《ALOW》的原声带将在柏林的独立唱片公司VERLAG旗下发行。除了计划进一步的项目,还有一些其他令人兴奋的事情即将发生–所以一定要注意更多的事情。
