Flaherty NYC’s Puzzling Series

A puzzle is something puzzling – it expects deduction and solution, while at the same time describes a condition of open confusion. Puzzling, the six-part series, considers these concurrent modes to explore different registers of knowing, the generative possibilities of uncertainty, and the film form as a choreography of sense and stimuli. How can a puzzle, as a challenge and as a structure, destabilize or shape the world? How are the boundaries of sense and non-sense policed? Human and non-human test subjects, compromised figures of authority, and metaphysical detectives populate the series, alongside inquiries on communication, abstraction, and agency.
