About analytical or poetic language and what it can bring or subtract to images. Lawrence Weiner uses gestures related to the act of reading, abstract assembling of graphic forms and images of dices. Corinna Schnitt presents an idyllic Alpine landscape, where a dozen nude women are lying in high grass. The women seem to have become part of nature, as if “from another world”. Excerpts from Habernas appear on screen and we are facing a lack of communication. Francis Naranjo directs the encounter of visual, sound and textual information, a net in which the look, the hearing and the subconscious reflect on each other. Augustin Parra presents a self-portrait in and by gestures, the impossible attempt to auto-catch a hand. Laetitia Benat uses the text written by a psychiatrist nurse and has her play her role. Architecture constrain bodies and the stare keeps under surveillance Niklas Goldbach films 60 people lying in the unrenovated basement floor at Palais de Tokyo, a disco bal lis slowly rotating above them. Christian Merlhiot films a Japanese teacher, who tells an inexplicable event that happened to her class during an outing in the mountains. The story is taken from a report mentioned by Haruki Murakami in its novel “Kafka on the shore”.
