Andrew Kötting: The Tell-Tale Rooms

We’re delighted to welcome Andrew Kötting for a weekend of VR experience and film programmes including a sneak preview of Kötting's new feature film The Memory Blocks which premiered at this years' Edinburgh Film Festival.

The Tell-Tale Rooms
Andrew Kötting, 2023, 12 min, VR

The Tell-Tale Rooms is a 12-minute father/daughter collaboration by Andrew and Eden Kötting, an immersive VR experience, that leads us on a journey into Eden’s, fantastical world. Blending animation, archive and live action, it celebrates the wonders of Eden’s rare neurological syndrome by opening the fusty doors of perception into a world of 360 virtual reality.

*Please note that only ticket holders for either film programmes will be able to attend the VR experience on the same day.

The Memory Blocks
Andrew Kötting, 2025, 80 min

These unselfconscious performances or enactments might be bringing us close to an understanding of what Eden thinks and feels – but maybe that isn’t the point and perhaps Eden, or those close to her, have no great need for this kind of insight and the object is more a kind of quietist harmony. Either way, the calmly purposeful originality of Kötting’s work is valuable.

This Our Still Life
Andrew Kötting, 2011, 57 min

Prompted by Stan Brakhage's Dog Star Man and filmed between 1989 and 2010 with Super 8 and digital still cameras, Andrew Kötting’s sublime home movie captures the intimacy of life with partner Leila McMillan and daughter Eden.
