In Vesna At the Monument (2016), a humble middle aged woman appears on the site of a dilapidated, in-the-middle-of-nowhere monument, erected likely in the time when she was youthful and at her most optimistic. The monument was commissioned in order to commemorate the heroic actions of common citizens in their struggle against fascism, and desire to promote and participate in a progressive, utopic state. She shuffles past the monument, and sits to smoke a cigarette. Off screen, a voice is heard, asking her questions such as what is the meaning of this place, this monument, this moment. She does not answer, as though she does not hear the question, even while acknowledging the camera, and the voice itself. It could, one supposes, be the voice of the cameraman or director, a voice in the subject’s own head, perhaps the voice of the monument itself, trying to ascertain the meaning of itself in this day and age. It gets no reply, and eventually (perhaps fed up with the question), she simply leaves, with the interlocutor left in his own uncertainty. The video seems to reject or deny a past, while expressing grave uncertainty to the future.

Milutin Gubash est né à Novi Sad (Serbie) et vit à Montréal (Canada) depuis 2005. Il a présenté des expositions au Québec, au Canada, aux États-Unis et en Europe y compris au Musée d’art contemporain (2007) et une rétrospective coproduites par six institutions au travers le Canada (Rodman Hall Art Centre 2011, Carleton University Art Gallery 2012, Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery 2012, Southern Alberta Art Gallery 2012, Musée d’art de Joliette 2012 et Fonderie Darling 2013). Sa pratique englobe la photographie, la vidéo et la performance et inclut souvent la participation de sa famille et amis qui incarnent une version d’eux-mêmes dans des feuilletons maison, des réinterprétations historiques et de pièces de théâtre improvisées. Par des moyens simples et des gestes souvent absurdes, Gubash questionne nos suppositions au sujet des récits de nos propres identités, histoires et environnements.

La vidéo « The Death of Peter Fechter » est un documentaire sur une performance live unique, une reconstitution de l'assassinat de Peter Fechter, un citoyen de la RDA âgé de 18 ans, touché par balle et mortellement blessé lors d?une tentative d'évasion au dessus du mur de Berlin le 17 août 1962. Même si Peter n'a été ni le premier, ni le dernier à mourir dans une telle tentative d?échappement, il s?agit là d?un moment important dans l'histoire du mur. Son histoire a fait la une de la presse mondiale, car, après avoir été la cible de nombreux tirs et frappes, il est retombé dans le no man?s land, où il est resté étendu pendant une heure en appelant à l'aide et en perdant lentement son sang jusqu?à la mort, tandis que la foule de Berlin-Ouest réunie contre le mur tentait de convaincre les gardes de l'aider. Des deux côtés du mur, les gardiens ne se sont pas déplacés pour lui porter secours.

The Guajira is a borderland peninsula between Colombia and Venezuela of resolute natives as well as disinherited adventurers. Some there take advantage of the peripheral territory to smuggle through isolated ports and over rugged landscape. They write their rebellious proclamation in the sands of crisscrossing desert paths and their rusted motors accompany their solitary voices with an unorthodox music, animating their indiscipline and adhesion to pure movement.

Portrait expérimental de la ville comme expérience d`elle-même : les images sont trop intenses et parfois le bruit infernal. Indie Lisboa. Festival de Cinema Indépendant de Lisbonne, 2004.

The images of a virgin Argentina, out from a private photographic archive, become present landscape: the river, the forest, the road: everything seems unchanged... except a ruined cotton factory, ghost of the collapse of a model of development imported from Europe, which is now a few teenager`s playground.

Man: Sometimes in the night I lose my mind (2011) This work was part of the project ?Between Iloca and Dichato.? It tried to capture, by means of a trip, the marginal and unmediated consequences of the Chilean Tsunami, one year later. It´s a choral story of the experience from interviews with people who witnessed the wave. The video shows ideas, abstractions and derivations of what happened that night, putting the emphasis on the paradoxical perception of the people; between humor and tragedy. A fragmented narrative emerges naturally from the memory pieces of the people.

Landscape: My feet at night, the sea on my feet (2012) This work was born as a late work from the project ?Between Iloca and Dichato? which tried to capture, by means of a trip, the marginal and unmediated consequences of the Chilean Tsunami, one year later. The space reveals the weight of time, where in the year since the Tsunami things haven´t changed radically. Compared with ?Man?, this video focuses on the landscape using steady and long shots as a strategy to capture those ?after? spaces. The silence of the field, contrasted with the government speech; the Sea goes up and down, the man is just a viewer, or another piece from the picture.

Roma Talismano, septième volet du Superfictional World Atlas, explore Rome comme talisman moral et esthétique de l’Occident. Au son d’hymnes et d’arias d’opéra, trois animaux allégoriques — la louve, l’aigle et l’agneau — racontent l’incessant recyclage de l’esthétique romaine pour fabriquer une universalité classique artificielle et délavée, de la Renaissance au fascisme jusqu’à aujourd’hui : Roma Talismano, volcan éternel de blancheur visuelle et spirituelle.

Through the means of a still fixed camera and the rhythmic strengtht granted by on-camera editing; Corta is a film centered upon the hypnotic extenuation generated by the body movements of sugar cane cutters. A contemplation of the frenziness and softness of the performatic gestures of hand labour while the surrounding plantations act as an omnipresent backdrop as the canes disappear. Corta is a pure cinematic experience about the natural and everyday ritual of a timeless world.

A mission in the middle of the Colombian jungle. Time seems to have stopped. There is something sinister in the air. The ambiance is tense. Hot and humid. A man surrounded by an environment that burns himfrom the inside. Power, poetry, violence. Everything happens in an instant, leaving everyone breathless.

Dans Untitled (Rhetoric that Preaches Revolution), je voulais faire une pièce qui se concentrerait sur la voix d’un groupe d’artistes et qui serait éclairée par les fondements structurels de leurs œuvres. L’accent est mis en partie sur ce qu’ils voudraient dire à la lumière des évènements mondiaux et régionaux. La pièce se base sur des enregistrements de journaux télévisés et des images assemblées des unes de la presse écrite relatant l’actualité, principalement de 1965 à 1968, comme Martin Luther King marchant vers Selma, Malcolm X en train de parler, des membres du Black Panther Party en confrontation avec les médias et la police, le soulèvement du Watts, des manifestants étudiants avec des revendications et des ouvriers en contestation. Lire ces images, d’un point de vue sympathisant, et les transformer en œuvres constituaient mon objectif général.

Adler Guerrier creates visual dialogue between a wunderkammer of materials and techniques. Guerrier improvises between form and function to nimbly subvert space and time in constructions of race, ethnicity, class, and culture. He calls upon the democratizing nature of collage and the authority of formal composition to designate to art history an axis of contemporary identity critique. Often chronicling the hybridity and juxtaposition in his immediate environs, Guerrier practices a contemporary flaneurie in an impending age of post-demography. Adler Guerrier was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and lives and works in Miami, FL, where he received a BFA at the New World School of the Arts. Guerrier recently had a solo exhibition at Perez Art Museum Miami, Miami, FL. He has exhibited work at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Miami, FL; The Bass Museum of Art, Miami, FL; Harn Musem of Art, Gainesville, FL; and The Whitney Biennial 2008. His works can be found in public collections including the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, and the Studio Museum in Harlem, NY. His work has appeared in Art Forum, Art in America, The New York Times and ARTNews, among others.

21 décembre 2015. Les images d’une caméra de surveillance montrent un renard à proximité de la cuve de confinement du réacteur no.2 de la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima..

Né en 1976 à Saint-Denis, France. Parallèlement à ses recherches sur la texture de l’image (qu’elle soit en pellicule, ou numérique) et le son, les thèmes développés à travers ses films sont essentiellement liés au Temps, à la mémoire et au fragment.

Fragments d'une rencontre avec le musicien américain Loren Connors. Frôler les pulsations du temps, palper la matière, s'attarder sur l'imperceptible fragilité du geste...

Né en 1976 à Saint-Denis, France. Parallèlement à ses recherches sur la texture de l’image, les thèmes développés à travers ses films/photos sont essentiellement liés au Temps, à la mémoire et au fragment.

Mr. Jocotot, a philosophy and ethics professor, has just collected final exams from his students and, unlike most other days, decides to take a taxi home. As he turns onto Avenida Progreso, a prominent street in Mexico City, he will come up against corruption and his ignorance will teach him a lesson.

Mauricio Guillén was born in México city in 1971. He studied at Parsons School in Paris, The Cooper Union in New York City and The Royal College of Art in London England. He currently lives in Frankfurt Germany where last summer, as part of an exhibition of his work, he presented the film AVENIDA PROGRESO at MMK (Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt am Main).

Alexis Guillier’s film looks at the deadly fire that broke out at the Beirut nightclub "Purgatoire" on the set of the 1969 Lebanese movie "Kolouna Feda'iyoun" ("We are all fedayeen") by Gary Garabedian, a take on Palestinian resistance at the time. Guillier’s project delves into the complexity of the film’s context, the precariousness of Lebanese cinema, and the investigation of the accident. The narrative of the film is built through the stories of the main protagonists: Purgatoire’s owner Sami Ghosn, TV star and Gary Garabedian's good friend Salah Tizani (aka Abu Salim), actor Samir Abu Saeed, the last living actor to have appeared in the film and who was at Purgatoire the night of the accident, actor Samir Chamas, who played in the film and who arrived on the scene just after the accident, Mirvat Kousa, sister of the actress Mona Slim, who was seriously injured in the accident, Hussein Al Sayyed, special effects expert and Christiane Mallouk, sister of the extra Gaby Mallouk who died in the accident. "Purgatoire" is part of the larger project "La réalité éclatée / A many splattered thing, conceived as an investigative history of cinema through set accidents that have caused deaths and severe injuries. The whole project is interested in the tensions between production and representation, material reality and image carried on the screen. In this respect, the exploration of the accident in "Purgatoire" is marked by these questions and inhabited by the revealing power of the accident. The film also testifies to the evolution of Alexis Guillier's image work, which is illustrated here through the increased exploration of visual associations, layered editing and opacity, which are also reflexive tools on the context, the story, and the narrative of the accident, and which nourish a play with certain formal codes of documentary.

Alexis Guillier se consacre à des performances, des films, textes ou installations, qui sont des montages narratifs, nés d’investigations (documentaires et de terrain) dans l’histoire collective et les histoires individuelles. L’entraînant de la falsification à la déformation et la disparition des œuvres, d’un accident de tournage aux vaisseaux fantômes, ou à gravir les contours de la géante Notre-Dame de France, ses formes mêlent des documents très divers, qui coexistent dans l’histoire culturelle mais ne s’y associent que rarement. Ses sujets d’investigation le poussent à observer la circulation des images et des productions culturelles, les échos et les récurrences, la formation des imaginaires, les interactions entre les actions personnelles et les histoires souvent nationales, sous un angle tant esthétique qu’anthropologique. La transmission de ces récits s’interroge elle-même, restant toujours sur une ligne incertaine, entre subjectivité détachée et lyrisme documentaire, et participant de l’indétermination des objets investis. Ses recherches sont faites d’analogies, d’associations d’idées, s’intéressent aussi à la paranoïa comme méthode. Plus récemment, il cherche à mettre en perspective ses projets avec des « affaires », partant du constat que l’accident, la catastrophe et leur violence reviennent avec insistance. Les processus d'enquête et de montage semblent aussi témoigner d’un même rapport au corps, comme s’il s’agissait de recoller ensemble des morceaux découpés dans plusieurs histoires ou sources.

"Soap" est un film en quatre épisodes, dans lequel un groupe de citadins de gauche isolés imagine comment créer une telenovela, un soap, pour infiltrer l'extrême droite conspiratrice, dans le Brésil de Bolsonaro. Une coalition de militants, d'artistes et d'écrivains peut-elle éviter de se prendre les pieds dans ses propres préjugés et privilèges, pour créer quelque chose de convaincant? Peuvent-ils unir leurs forces pour battre un système populiste à son propre jeu? "Soap" est une collaboration entre Tamar Guimarães, Luisa Cavanagh et Rusi Millán Pastori. Il a été filmé à Berlin et São Paulo pendant le premier confinement du Covid19, en 2020.

SOAP, 2020-ongoing, imagines what it would take to create a soap opera with which to infiltrate, and influence, the conspiratorial far right in Bolsonaro’s Brazil. A group of idealistic left-wing intellectuals join forces to play a populist system at its own game. Through the initial five episodes, the heroes struggle to chart a course through their own ideas and ideologies by way of quotidian dramas and veiled intrigues. But how can this small group of artists, writers and activists overcome the struggle of principles, their internal bickering and the absurdities of their own privilege to create something that resonates and has real impact with their target audience? IN Episode 5, ‘MOSES AND MONOTHEISM’, concepts clash ferociously, hand puppets scream and pray, renowned Genocide Scholars are accosted and conspiracies bleed across borders. Meanwhile, as the left-wing infiltrators struggle to make sense of their own intentions, entertaining the idea of creating a YouTube series aimed at the evangelic Brazilians, the Querdenkers (a movement that fuses protesters against Covid measures with the far-right scene thriving on a sense of crisis and apocalypse) move through plague-time Berlin like a danse macabre.

SOAP is a film in seven episodes following the infiltration attempts of a cluster of left-wing people in right-wing social networks. The tactic chosen by the group is the creation of a YouTube channel aimed at teenagers employing the apparently conservative language of religious devotion and self help through prayer. SOAP asks questions such as can a coalition of artists, writers and activists avoid tripping over their own assumptions and privileges to form something persuasive? Is the white left dead? Or rather, have the forms of appeal and address relied upon by the intellectual Lefts ceased to be effective? Is there a way out of the internal bickering and accusations - that continue to hamper political movements? In episode 'six and a half', Camila narrates the previous episodes, reflecting on the project's aims and fractures from the perspective of a post election moment in which the Left was re-elected to the presidency in Brazil.

SOAP follows the infiltration attempts of a cluster of left-wing people in right-wing social networks. The tactic chosen by the group is the creation of a YouTube channel aimed at teenagers employing the apparently conservative language of religious devotion and self-help through prayer. In episode six our infiltrators continue to discuss the implications of the soap they are plotting. In the meantime the group has fractured and one of its former member has left the project to pursue traditional politics, preparing to launch her candidacy as a trans councilwoman.
