“I Am and Tell Me What” is a film in-process and a film about a process. It is a non-chronological and fragmented record of a research investigation that Maggessi and Morusiewicz initiated in 2021, while working towards curating a Vienna-based exhibition “The Poiesis of Composting,” as well as their own artistic performative pieces. The film is built out of snippets from a seven-day bicycle trip that the duo took around Carinthia‘s lakes, interrupted and fuelled by references to texts, films, and music. The latter function as a transmedial bibliography to their collaborative artistic research practice. Exploring their multi-faceted relationship while digressing about academic essays, blockbuster horror movies, and arthouse videos, the filmmakers-turned-protagonists point their cameras on their immediate surroundings and on each other for the purpose of fabulating stories about convivial queer futures. All this unravels in a stream of loose associations and at a languid pace of a scorching hot summer, scored by the ongoing hum of always-present cicadas.
