The truth of the deep colors of Kaspar Kameleon
Doc. expérimental | dv | couleur | 16:30 | France, Allemagne | 2004
Portrait du performer berlinois Kaspar Kameleon. Nous le suivons durant ses répétitions, chez lui et dans le cabaret où il se produit. Il nous emmène dans son village natal, Stockhausen au centre de l'Allemagne, où nous rencontrons ses proches et voyons le bon accueil que lui font les gens . Ils sont heureux de voir son spectacle de Pâques. Nous rencontrons sa mère qui nous livre généreusement ses sentiments quant au fait que son fils soit un performer Drag. Kaspar est une légende de la nuit underground berlinoise. Ce film, le second que lui consacre Fred Koenig ( cf: "the colors of Kaspar Kameleon" 2003 ) est un véritable hommage à cet artiste géréreux et créatif, ainsi qu'une leçon de tolérance.
J'ai voyagé et vécu au Mexique, en Allemagne, à New york, en Haïti, en Afrique du Sud. Ces lieux ont destabilisé ma vision occidentale du monde. Mon inspiration me vient des gens que j'ai pu rencontré durant ces voyages. Leurs histoires et leurs comportements m'aident à développer mon travail. A travers leurs expériences et mes observations, je redéfinis ma personne et mes recherches selon ce que j'appelle "LE DÉSIR D'APPARTENANCE". Cela résume mon travail. Je ne suis ni un observateur ni un anthropologue, j'interagis, je vis, je participe et n'anticipe pas. Via la photographie, la vidéo, la danse, je n'apporte pas au public qu'un divertissement, mais aussi un sujet de réflexion.

The Sparrow Is Free
Doc. expérimental | hdv | couleur | 14:6 | France, Royaume-Uni | 2021
In an empty house, a young woman hears a voice. The tales it evokes lead her to recreate scenes from her grandmother’s past life. Through objects found at home, Kohandel's short interview-film explores gender roles in early 20th-century Iran. As a young girl, marriage to her older cousin leads to years of control and frustration. Rebelling against her husband, she eventually relocates to France with her sons, building a new life. As she voices her own story, the film weaves her experiences together into a broader narrative of self-determination. She carves out her independence in Paris and finds comfort in the everyday. A simple kind of happiness follows, the sparrow is free.
Niki Kohandel (b. 2000, Paris) is an artist and filmmaker, in her third year of undergraduate studies at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL. Niki films mothers and daughters, houses and flowers, and all sorts of things which, like relationships, can be nurtured, but also grow out of control. She uses obsolete recording devices and her imperfect knowledge of languages to document and tell stories, creating at the interplay between the analogue and the digital.

Green Land takes place in rural Latvia. Depicting a collective farm worker, it personifies both personal as well as state memory, in different ways. The main characters, former collective farm workers Ir?na, Veronika and L?cije, recount their experiences, offering us a glimpse of a bygone era and openly participating in the performance offered to them. Films key image – the gestalt of history – is a concrete sculpture by Rasma Bruz?te from 1952. The title of the film comes from the concept of a green, verdant land. It is also the title of a classic book by Latvian writer Andrejs Up?ts, a Soviet-era epic to which the young literary scholar Arnis, has devoted his life to.
Jaana Kokko is an artist, filmmaker, teacher and occasional curator based in Helsinki, having her background in arts and economics. She is interested in the languages and places/ spaces of individuals in which the singularity of experience opens onto the collective and its historicity in ways that allow us to reflect on the ethical, political, and aesthetic dimensions not only of self-representation but also of the life itself as shared. Lately Kokko has been finishing two bodies of films both located in the peripheries, trying to shift the gaze to the outskirts of the sight and hear. In her practice she is now in the search of the common: the emergent need for the change that is starting from our practices of art making, learning and being together. Her work has been exhibited f.ex. at the Lithuanian National Gallery in Vilnius, Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga, Tallinn Art Hall, Helsinki Art Hall, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Botkyrka Konsthall, Joensuu Art Museum and Lappeenranta Art Museum in Finland, Bucharest International Experimental Film Festival, Tampere Film Festival and Tokyo Media Art Festival.

Installation vidéo | mp4 | noir et blanc | 15:35 | Russie, Allemagne | 2023
The film explores the interplay between the real and the imagined, the collective and the personal, and raises the question: how has collective memory of the Second World War been manipulated? Public commemoration, the aggressive patriotic indoctrination of children, and the cult of victory have shaped a war-centered identity and national narrative in Russia. In contrast, individual memories of those who lived through the Second World War often reflect its violence and tragedy. Could this discrepancy between individual and collective memory offer a way to challenge and break free from the nationalist narrative of the past?
Jeanna Kolesova (b. 1988, Moorland Village, Russia) is an artist, filmmaker, and researcher. Working across moving image, performance, web, installation, and text, their work explores the manipulation of history, information, and the impact of imperial technologies on bodies and landscapes. Kolesova studied documentary film and photography in St. Petersburg, interactive media at CalArts, and experimental film at the Berlin University of Arts. Their works have been exhibited in Prague, Berlin, Dresden, Baden-Baden, LA, Tokyo, and St.Petersburg.

Troisième volet de The American West Trilogy (les deux premiers volets étant Nome Road System et Milltown, Montana (VdR, 2010)), ce film est un portrait poignant et complexe de la vie et des paysages du désert de Mojave. Par sa structure désarticulée qui évoque presque le "fingerpicking" minimaliste de John Fahey, tel un blues décharné perdu dans le temps, le film observe la façon dont la vie s`imbrique et s`écarte de la trame d`un mode de vie américain complètement oublié par les politiques de l`idéologie néolibérale. On y entend le poète et détenu Stanley »Spoon« Jackson, condamné en 1977 à perpétuité sans possibilité de libération conditio-nnelle et qui a séjourné dans plus d`une demi-douzaine de prisons californiennes, lire des passages de son autobiographie By Heart. Des images d`un monde imprégné par la pure mythologie américaine sont entrecou-pées et noyées dans la réalité et les conséquences brutales de politiques financières implacables. »Barstow, California« incarne assurément l`autre côté du rêve américain. Giona A. Nazzaro

Das Haus
Film expérimental | 16mm | couleur | 21:40 | Autriche | 2014
Das Haus deepens the exploration of sculptural architecture that Aglaia Konrad conducted with the series of 16mm films Concrete and Samples. Shot in a house designed by architect Juliaan Lampens in Sint-Martens-Latem (Belgium), the film resumes the artist’s interest on the possibilities of the cinematic medium to generate –rather than capture - an architectural experience. An experience which, in this film, surpasses the visual to mobilize bodily perception and even desire. Konrad’s editing carefully measures the doses of perceptual information it provides to our orientation drive in a process that departs from an initial willingness to orient oneself towards the pleasure of surrendering to disorientation and fragmentation. A disorientation that could be called “perverse” in the sense that Freud bestowed to the word –perverse pleasures are those which linger in the detour; in the resistance to result in a productive goal– insofar as the film replaces the production of a representation of space in favour of perceptive defamiliarization and tactile pleasure. Architecture and film are constantly looking at each other in a piece in which "angle", "transition", "cut", "sequence", "frame", " joint", " fold " and "rhythm" are notions that are spread from one discipline to the other as if the camera and editing would be reading the space as a composition score. There are two architectural comparisons that are often applied to filmmaking: the idea of cinema as a "window" and as “mirror". Das Haus, entangles and complicates those comparisons by treating windows as interfaces that blur the inside and outside and whose transparency acquires materiality, and by using mirrors as devices that disrupt form pushing it to a state of potentiality. In Das Haus the screen is no longer a window but rather a skin: for it is a body interface, a tactile surface and a membrane that is neither safe nor transparent because it reveals its inner cinematic compositional strategies.
Aglaia Konrad is a photography based artist living in Brussels whose work has focused mainly on metropolitan urban space. She has been advising researcher at the Jan Van Eyck Academy in Maastricht and is currently teaching at the Hogeschool Sint-Lukas in Brussels. She had presented her work in solo exhibitions in Siegen, Antwerp, Geneva, Graz, Cologne and New York, among other cities, as well as in international group shows such as Documenta X (1997), Cities on the Move (1998-1999) and Talking Cities (2006). Her work has been documented in several exhibitions catalogues and monographic publications such as 'Elasticity' (2002) and 'Iconocity' (2005). For her book 'Desert Cities' (2008) she received the Infinity award for the best photo book 2009 of the International Center for Photography, New York.

La Scala
Film expérimental | 16mm | couleur | 12:24 | Autriche, Belgique | 2016
The subject of Aglaia Konrad’s 16mm films is modernist architecture but rather than a form of architecture on film, or film on architecture, her films investigate the potential for film to embody the experience of architecture as sculpture. The protagonist here is ‘La Scala’, a villa on Lake Garda, designed by Vittoriano Vigano for André Bloc in 1958. The ‘multiple projection’ (split-screen) of La Scala proposes a multiplicity of perspectives and, more significantly, a succession of combined images.
Aglaia Konrad (1960, Salzburg) criss-crosses urban spaces. Her photographs, films and installations zoom in on exceptional buildings and the transformation of cities. She focuses on the way architecture is visualised and exhibited. Aglaia Konrad lives in Brussels and teaches at LUCA School of Arts. She had presented her work in solo exhibitions in Siegen, Antwerp, Geneva, Graz, Cologne and New York, among other cities, as well as in international group shows such as Documenta X (1997), Cities on the Move (1998-1999) and Talking Cities (2006).

sequenza
Film expérimental | 16mm | couleur | 14:0 | Belgique | 2014
Sequenza is an experimental film project by Manon de Boer and George van Dam based on the composition Sequenza VIII for solo violin by Luciano Berio . From a long history of cooperation - to include the soundtrack of Manon de Boer's film trilogy Sylvia Kristel - Paris (2003), Resonating Surfaces (2005) and Think about Wood, Think about Metal (2011) and her portrait of George van Dam in Presto, Perfect Sound (2006) - came the desire to work together to make a movie based on Sequenza VIII . This piece is for its crystalline structure one of the most beloved compositions by George van Dam . Together with Manon de Boer, he wants to explore how rhythm and structure of this composition can be articulated in conjunction with moving images to penetrate. So even deeper into the composition Manon de Boer is fascinated by the image of the intimate contact of the chin, the ears, the face of the violinist with the violin, which extends in the movement of his arms and hands to the body and space, the instrument - body of the violin as a material, physical transition between two abstract elusive poles : that of the mental construction of the composition and experience of its sounds in space. Van Dam and de Boer have developed the following idea from these different interests. In several recordings of Dam filmed (and sound is recorded) when he performs Sequenza VIII . Emphasizing first half total, the body and the intimacy with the instrument. Then abstract details filmed, like his hands, his ear, details of the violin, strings and the like. In the editing is from the portrait / body of the violinist a more fragmented, abstract image created a physical, gives spatial experience in the tension between the music and the image rhythm. If the body and the violin in abstract details and solve dancing away in the (sound) space.
Manon de Boer (°1966 in Kodaicanal, India) completed her artistic education at the Akademie Van Beeldende Kunsten, Rotterdam, and at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. Using personal narration and musical interpretation as both method and subject, de Boer explores the relationship between language, time, and truth claims to produce a series of portrait films in which the film medium itself is continuously interrogated. Her work has been exhibited internationally, at the Venice Biennial (2007), Berlin Biennial (2008), Sao Paolo Biennial (2010), Documenta (2012) and has also been included in numerous film festivals in Hong Kong, Marseille, Rotterdam and Vienna. Her work has been the subject of monographic exhibitions at Witte de With in Rotterdam (2008), Frankfurter Kunstverein (2008), London South Gallery (2010), Index in Stockholm (2011), Contemporary Art Museum of St Louis (2011) and Museum of Art Philadelphia (2012), among others. De Boer currently teaches at the School of Arts in Ghent and ERG in Brussels. She lives and works in Brussels.

Concrete & Samples I Wotruba Wien
Doc. expérimental | 16mm | couleur | 16:30 | Belgique | 2009
Concrete & Samples I, II, III is a series of 16mm films on sculptural architecture. What the buildings and site in all films have in common is the idea of ?architecture as sculpture? and a very distinct use of concrete that seem to depart from the free form of the whole in a sculptural manner. In the absence of a traditional narrative, it is the space itself, that takes the role of the protagonist, while the camera proposes a narration through its travel and observation. The church of Fritz Wotruba, in Vienna looks like an enlarged piece of abstract sculpture, a kind of three-dimensional synthetic cubist arrangement of 152 concrete blocks arranged vertically and horizontally, but asymmetrically, in which the narrow spaces produced in-between are made use of as windows and doors.

De Boer a invité le pianiste basé à Bruxelles Jean-Luc Fafchamps à jouer deux fois de suite la composition « 4?33?? » de John Cage devant un auditoire, dans un studio des P.A.R.T.S. (Performing Arts Research and Training Studios) de Bruxelles (Belgique). En une seule prise, la caméra filme l'exécution de cette composition musicale « silencieuse », avec les trois signes de ponctuation indiqués par Cage sur l?unique ligne de la partition à 1'40", 2'23" et 2?30", que Fafchamps, qui demeure le reste du temps toujours calme et absorbé, interprète en touchant un chronomètre. Tournée sur une pellicule 35 millimètres, ce qui assure la netteté des détails visuels, cette première partie est mariée à un son ambiant enregistré de façon synchrone, joué en surround Dolby lorsque l'?uvre est projetée. À la seconde interprétation, qui correspond à la deuxième partie du film, De Boer coupe tous les sons, à part les clics du chronomètre de l?exécution.
Manon de Boer est née en Inde, vit et travaille à Bruxelles (Belgique). Elle réalise des films, des vidéos, des installations, publie et enseigne à KASK. Elle fait partie de la plateforme de production-distribution Auguste Orts. Utilisant la narration personnelle comme une méthode, Manon de Boer explore la relation entre le langage, le temps et les revendications de vérité. Elle explore également la perception du temps par le biais d?un usage conscient du film en tant que médiateur artistique, et par l?analyse de ses effets sur le spectateur. La façon dont elle désincarne l?image, le son et la musique dans ses compositions, modifie subtilement le schéma classique de la perception du film.

In 1968, the island of Sicily suffered a huge earthquake that completely devastated several villages, including Gibellina. Il Grande Cretto, the intervention projected by the Italian artist Alberto Burri for the ruins of Gibellina, a small village in the western part of the Island. This intervention - which took over thirty years to complete, after successive interruptions and recommences - is for me the most crystalline and powerful implementation of what may be described, in an apparent paradox, as a contemporary monument. The radical aspect of this place is that the monument coincides with the memory of the event. It is therefore, a performative piece - a living monument. The monument is the place, on a 1:1 scale. Aglaia Konrad’s films are careful and rigorous approximations to certain places or realities. In her films she works with matter (light, sound, memory and perception), on the one hand, and with language (editing, rhythm and repetition) on the other. The 16mm film IL CRETTO (transferred to video), uses of a split-screen (recorded in- camera) and dual projection.
