>  A woman pulls a suitcase out of its hiding place; inside is her body. 
> Haunted by the idea that the former occupant is still living in the 
> apartment she now inhabits, the strange story takes its course. Based 
> on this scenario SUGAR occupies a space between cinema and gallery.
>
>  One component of the SUGAR project is a long film loop. This uses the 
> language and narrative codes of cinema to tell a story whose form amd 
> momentum are entirely circular. Time expands and contracts throughout 
> a spiralling sequence of events experienced or imagined. These 
> perceptions are described through morphing perspectives that range 
> through objective, subjective, voyeuristic, dream,delusion and 
> hallucination. The line between the narration and the protagonist's 
> psychosis blurs. The film captures her schizophrenic perceptions in 
> the same way as the real situation inside the apartment, 
> and through this amalgamation it becomes practically impossible to 
> untie the knot and discern between pychosis and reality.
>   
>  Additional images and sculptural works presented with the film were 
> created in response to questions that arose during the process of 
> making the film: How do the dynamics of cinematic and gallery space 
> differ. How long does it take an event to happen? How long does it 
> take to relate to an event? What is the difference between time 
> experienced and time imagined? SUGAR is the fourth film work by 
> Patrick Jolley and Reynold Reynolds. The story scenarios were worked 
> out during filming with Samara Golden who plays the part of the 
> tenant.
>
>  Through October 3, 2005 another film by Reynold Reynolds is being 
> shown in the exhibition “Urbane Realitäten- Fokus Istanbul” in 
> the Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin. In 2004/2005 Reynold Reynolds was the 
> Art Fellow of the American Academy in Berlin in cooperation with the 
> Künstlerhaus Bethanien.
