Cosmic Call: soundtrack

Cosmic Call is a film that weaves together facts and fiction to create an alternative understanding of epidemics. The work resists the dominant narrative of a disease outbreak – a formulaic plot of a detective story about disease emergence and eventually the triumph of western medical science – and suggests multiple belief systems in which science is only one of many ways to understand communicable diseases.
Cosmic Call is commissioned by Wellcome Trust, the largest and most important medical history archive in the world. The work premiered at “Contagious Cities: Far Away, Too Close“ at Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong), as part of the global Contagious Cities project, an international collaborative project presented by Wellcome Trust.
