ANN OREN creates a choreography from the professional routine of a foley artist, played by Simon(e) Jaikiriuma Paetau, who works on the sounds of an equestrian training sequence. The intensive work of the artist gets a bit goofy, but not too much. However, the farce is waiting around the corner – more and more sensual, the artist dissolves their identity into that of the horse. Now they are performing for the camera, in sync with the training sequences that OREN continues to insert. You can't think of the ideational implications while this queer, non-binary and naughty centaur is on screen. You’re charmed. Only after does decryption begin. (Călin Boto, BIEFF 2020)

“A foley artist’s job is to enhance the illusion of reality in a film using sound. In my film, the foley artist uses his body to create sounds for a looping horse in passage - a dressage term for a slowed down trot. Through his meticulous sound reenactments, a human-animal passage comes to light. Up until the 90’s, foley artists were not even regularly credited in films. PASSAGE was made with love to all the backstage magicians who make cinema what it is.” (ANN OREN)
