July 30
Screening + Performance
Schinkel Pavillon, Berlin
On Wednesday, July 30, TICK TACK presents a special OFF-SITE screening of Sojourn, the latest film by Allen-Golder Carpenter. The screening takes place at Schinkel Pavillon in Berlin, in collaboration with 032c Berlin.
Originally developed for Carpenter’s solo exhibition Sojourn, the film will premiere alongside a site-specific installation, paintings and a short story at TICK TACK in Antwerp. Inspired by the Japanese animation Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, Sojourn weaves these elements into a layered meditation on memory, transformation, and the instability of historical perspective.
On July 30, five days after the opening of Sojourn at TICK TACK in Antwerp, the eponymous film travels to Berlin for a one-night screening at Schinkel Pavillon. This presentation is part of TICK TACK’s OFF-SITE program, realized in collaboration with Schinkel Pavillon and 032c, and coincides with the closing of Carpenter’s current solo exhibition at 032c in Berlin.
In the film, Carpenter constructs a fractured cinematic language to explore the fragility of memory and the violence of erasure. Through a poetic interplay of image, text, sound, and spoken word, the film reflects on the cyclical nature of life and death—not as abstraction, but as lived experience shaped by systemic neglect and historical distortion. Rather than offering a linear narrative, Sojourn presents a layered, unresolved attempt to hold onto what history often pushes aside—especially the lives, voices, and losses of Black communities whose stories are too often overwritten.
With this project, Carpenter continues to challenge how we assign value to memory—and who is permitted to leave a mark.
