Léonard Pongo’s film ‘Tales from the Source’ (2024) will go on view at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, beginning September 1, according to the center’s weekly program announcement. No closing date has been provided.
The presentation is described as an encounter with “luminous, dreamlike environments” in which land functions as “a living memory, a spirit, and a force.” The film moves between documentary and speculative fiction, placing its account of landscape between observational and imagined forms rather than treating the environment as a passive backdrop.
The announcement provides no further details about the film’s duration, production, language, or screening schedule. It also does not identify whether ‘Tales from the Source’ will be presented as a continuous gallery projection, at scheduled times, or as part of a broader film programme. The available information confirms only that the work will be on view from September 1 at the Wexner Center.
The Wexner Center for the Arts is located at The Ohio State University at 1871 North High Street in Columbus. Its programme spans contemporary art exhibitions, film and video, performing arts, education, and artist projects. The center’s Film/Video programme includes both scheduled screenings and presentations connected to contemporary and independent moving-image practices.
‘Tales from the Source’ appears in the center’s August 2026 weekly communication alongside information about its autumn programming. That notice separately lists forthcoming exhibitions by Sammy Baloji, Temitayo Ogunbiyi, and the collective sweat variant, but those projects are not presented as part of Pongo’s film.
The center has advised visitors that repair work is affecting access to the building: its High Street entrance is closed because of paver repairs, while an entrance near College Road remains open. Gallery admission is described as free for everyone in the announcement. ‘Tales from the Source’ is listed as on view beginning September 1, with no end date stated.
