Sarah Lasley's
experimental short film is something of a surreal and absolutely raw
piece of experimental art that takes the technological world and passive
aggressive gossip ring and exercises it in to an everyday setting.
Revolving around an incident with a girl named Gloria Mundi, a group of
people struggle to find out what happened after an exhibit of hers was
taken down.

This
brings about many moments of pure insanity and oddity where
dialogue is written and conveyed through stilted limited
speech, and the folks sitting around divulging the rumors
around this incident failing to see the world around them as
they sink their faces in to the crevices of their devices.
Lasley is not prone to delivering a straight forward glimpse
at our modern communication methods and transforms "Gloria
Mundi" is something of performance art where the cast are
wonderfully sharp in their ability to converse without
actually communicating. |

This leads in to the
reveal where one character manages to rise above the absurdity and
vanity. "Gloria Mundi" may not appeal to all audiences, but for anyone
looking for an engrossing exploration in to the cold and sterile way we
reach one another in modern society, this is a piece of art worth
investing your time in.
Sarah Lasley's short
film is a sharp piece of experimental cinema and performance art
providing a stark exploration in to the lifeless and cold communication
experience modern technology allows, destroying all information and
emotions. If you'd like to see "Gloria Mundi"
