In this 'séance fiction’ a young River Phoenix from the film The Explorers (1985) opens a wormhole to contact an older version of himself from My Own Private Idaho (1991). The Phoenix Portal is the first work in Soda_Jerk’s Dark Matter Cycle, an ongoing series of video installations that are concerned with personal and historical experiences of time, and how these relations are mediated by screen technologies.
