Gonda is informed by Ayn Rand’s 1934 play ‘Ideal.’ In the play’s script, controversial Russian- American writer and philosopher Rand lays out herphilosophical system of ‘Objectivism’ As a critical counter to Rand’s position, Gonda creates kaleidoscopic printed spaces in whichimage and text shift roles to affect presupposed ideals of identity and existence. The screenplay was developed from a series of interdisciplinary workshops, which included academics, curators, critics, and writers, and centers on the possibilities of writing through or by, rather than about Rand’s play. Gonda is a film of voices. These sonic interventions serve to further unravel the unified notion of subjectivity central to Rand’s work.
