Cosmic forces appear to be unleashed in the opening minutes of “La Quinta del Sordo”, a new film by the French artist Philippe Parreno now showing at the Prado Museum in Madrid. Amid an ominous ambient soundtrack, played through headphones, planets and stars appear to be on the move. A sinister organic form — is it a giant, sun-devouring creature? — comes out of the darkness. Specks of light flicker across the screen in super-slow-motion, and seem to explode.
