Graças a este estrondoso sucesso, foi marcada mais uma apresentação, desta vez com um motivo mais do que especial: a gravação de Ana & Jorge, onde estão registradas belíssimas canções que ressaltam as habilidades de ambos como instrumentistas. Os destaques ficam por conta da faixa inédita "Unimultiplicidade" e "É Isso Ai", uma versão de Ana Carolina para a música "The Blower´s Doughter", tema do filme "Closer". Imperdível!

Krypton Is Doomed

2005 • 34 min • United States of America

This work is derived from one of Jacobs' Nervous Magic Lantern performances, which are created with a hand-manipulated projector and use neither film nor video. Highly stroboscopic and hallucinatory, these kinetic performances result in otherworldly spaces and plays of near-abstraction and suggestive imagery. In Krypton is Doomed, the audio accompaniment to the shifting visuals is an installment of a Superman radio play — the first ever broadcast, in 1940. This work highlights Jacobs' relentless experimentation with the very fabric of projected light.

2005 • 57 min • United States of America
