نبذة مختصرة : nou (Jane Topping, 2018) is screened as part of an international competition ('Cinema in Transgression') at the 16th Edition of the International Festival Signes de Nuit, Paris. Nou is the new video work by Jane Topping. Inspired by Scottish socialist writer Naomi Mitchison’s Memoirs of a Spacewoman, nou is a tale of space travel, hypnosis and transformation – across time and space, from an alien world to a dentist's chair in Glasgow, 1981. nou is the sequel to Peter (2014), which won Best PKD Short Film at the Philip K. Dick Science Fiction Film Festival, New York, 2017. Both videos use a recording of the artist as a child, being hypnotised by her dentist, as a tool to move through time, speculating new futures while conflating human and non-human bodies.
