In Le Monde Perdu time is slowed down as the camera moves through a local Zoo, the childhood home and a Planetarium. Merging these man-made sceneries into one setting the film comes to offer a reflection on personal and collective memory as well as our longing for belonging.

Mathieu J.H. Hansen is a Master student at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In his work, he often merges larger cinematic constructions and fictional elements with smaller personal stories and documentary film archives, dealing with themes such as nostalgia, time and man-made nature.

Hanté est un jeune artiste queer emporté dans une consommation narcotique des échappatoires au monde contemporain. Theremespare est une légende ésotérique inventée par un.e influençeuse dont il devient obsédé. Theremespare est un point de géolocalisation, qu’il poursuit à travers différentes couches d’illusions et fantasmes. Theremespare est un jeu de piste vers une réalité toujours s’échappant dans des trous de lapins.

An explorer in projects has reached the end of the road in search for creative meaning. The desire is to travel, the search for The Project and historical mystery. Is the artist a postcolonial tourist of sorts, a self-imposed challenger of cultural frontiers?

The documentary film "Concrete Coast" is about the social, cultural and environmental effects of the last bit of un-urbanized Spanish Mediterranean coast being built up for residential tourism in the Region of Murcia. Agriculture is disappearing along this 230 km long coastline and is being replaced by 60 golf courses, marinas, freeways and new large scale planned communities with 1,000,000 residences, mainly sunseeking British retirees, doubling the population of Murcia within few years. Every hour 2 hectares of land are being urbanized in Spain. The impacts of these large-scale economic and political forces are illustrated by a Spanish farming family being expropriated of their land and a retired British couple embarking on their new life in a country where they do not even speak the language. How will all of this change the culture of the region? Will the populations integrate? Will these and other Spanish farmers have to emigrate? How will the global economic crisis affect the region?

Robert Harding Pittman grew up in Boston and Hamburg, the son of a German mother and American father. After taking his undergraduate and graduate degrees in environmental engineering (U.C. Berkeley), an area of concern that continues to inform his work, he received an M.F.A. in Photography and Film/Video at the California Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts). His main interest is how different cultures interact with the environment and how they manage ?development?. Currently he is living between Germany and Spain. In Germany he is making the second film about the 750 year old east German village of Heuersdorf which is being demolished for the expansion of an open pit coal mine. In Spain he is at work on ?Concrete Coast?, a photography and documentary film project about the impact of tourism on the culture and environment of Mediterranean Spain. He is working on a new photography project, "M - 50 (Madrid)", about new suburbs being built around Madrid. He has begun work on a photography book, "Anonimization" (working title), with curator Celina Lunsford (Fotografie Forum Frankfurt), compiling his work from various countries over the past years.

We hear the past like a sentimental echo from times when we came together, the future like an answer to our needs, and the present like a silence in which we alone are standing still. Tomorrow was Magnificent was born out of this silence, as an end and a new beginning of nothing – apeiron.

Tunis’ abandoned structures are part of the urban fabric, like ghosts from the past they demand to be heard – promising memories desperately needed for this generation to reconstruct its future from the rubble. Although Tunisia has been hailed triumphant in bringing down an oppressive regime in 2011, the alienation of an entire generation is more palpable than ever. Why is it that some monuments and buildings are reckoned as heritage and others of similar importance are left abandoned and in ruins, and who decides? Through experiencing the memory of abandoned spaces told through a building inhabited by books, the film exposes the soul of the city, and a historical narrative that is often left omitted.

Rim Harrabi (Tunisian), Rua Osman (Sudanese), Salimata Ba (Mauritanian), Lina Alabed (Jordanian Palestinian), and Yosra El-Gazzar (Egyptian) form an Afro-Arab female collective. This collective was born during the first cycle of the Mouatheqat/Women in Dox fellowship, hosted by DOX BOX in 2021. The fellowship is designed to connect and cross-pollinate intergenerational, interdisciplinary, and intercultural visions of women who are eager to convey their voices to a global audience. Mouatheqat's inaugural cycle took place in Tunisia in 2021, where these fellows met and collectively acquired and exchanged the necessary skills to write, research, direct, produce, and edit a documentary film. Their exploration and experimentation encompassed various forms of storytelling stemming from individual perspectives, reflecting the filmmakers' unique voices and experiences. By the end of their time together, the collective delivered two documentaries: "Do Flowers Bloom After Spring?" and "The Dream Continues.

Discussion Room 005 2006, video performance in Helsinki, 4`27, loop In a state of claustrophobia, I jump against lightboxes with advertisements representing bodies in an urban landscape. It is an attempt to push away the representations, to broaden the space that surrounds me or to pass through.

Sabrina Harri was born in Espoo, Finland in 1979. She spent most of her childhood in France. She graduated from the Ecole National Supérieur d?Art et de Recherche la Villa Arson in Nice in 2005 and from the post- diploma studies ALPES at the University of Art and Design in Geneva in 2009. Sabrina Harri articulates her creative practice around core issues on our perception of reality and its representations. Not without a certain humour, she embodies this theme in fragile and modular installations, drawings, videos and actions that ably disrupt common sense. By diversion and game, Sabrina Harri discreetly moves objects, as well as social conventions, towards a form of disillusioned poetry. Her work, at first glance trivial, subtly questions the changing values and cultural taboos of contemporary Western society. As well as conducting her researches in the visual arts field, she is also active in the European Vj scene since 2007. She performed many audiovisual acts under few cover names. Sabrina Harri is a member of Finnish Artists? Association MUU since 2006. http://www.muu.fi http://sabrinaharri.blogspot.com

Avec un nom emprunté aux lois Jim Crow interdisant aux hommes noirs de regarder les femmes blanches, cet amalgame développé à la main et en copie optique, est une inspection hypnotique du désir sexuel, de l'identité raciale et de l'histoire du cinéma. (Eric Crosby, Wisconsin Film Festival)

Les films primés de Harris ont été présentés dans toute l'Amérique du Nord et l'Europe, notamment au Festival du Film International de Rotterdam, au New York Underground Film Festival, à la Cinemathèque de San Francisco, au Huesca Film Festival et au Festival du Film International de Vienne, parmi tant d'autres.

Aura Dies Hard (Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Copy) joins the artist after having just returned from a museum survey exhibition of video art. Through the course of the following video essay, the artist reflects on the rhetoric of "dematerialization" often linked with early video (and conceptual and performance art more generally). Proposing an alternative, "materialist" read, in which the (often unauthorized) duplication and circulation of artist video paradoxically help perpetuate its mythic beginnings, the artist ultimately reveals that copying technologies and art world protocol have made it possible for him to obtain all the videos encountered at the museum show, clips of which are played throughout the narration.

Stock Exchange prends la forme d'une "lettre" vidéo écrite au Footage Aquisitions Department chez Artbeats Software, Inc. Une compagnie américaine dont l'activité principale est de fournir des films et des clips vidéos de haute qualité et sans droit d auteur. Elle les fournit à des client qui les achètent pour produire des annonce ment du service public, publicités à la télévision ou bien même de longs métrages. Dans sa lettre a la compagnie, l'artiste développe une théorie selon laquelle ils pourraient accepter (ou non) des images prises par des vidéographeur free-lance (pour être plus tard re proposées à l'usage des clients) et qui éventuellement demande à Artbeats de définir leur critères de sélection. La réponse, dans laquelle un représentant de la compagnie fait une liste de "conseils de prises de vue et directives", est juxtaposée avec de vrais clips vidéos du catalogue de Artbeats. L??uvre, dans son ensemble, cherche à méditer sur la construction et la transformation d'un sens visuel dans l'économie très fluide (et de plus en plus poussée par les copies) de l'image.

Traced through the degradation of a bog body, Sick Landscapes draws historical links between Reinhold Lingner, the GDR’s chief landscape architect, Israel’s aggressive demolition and control of occupied Palestinian land and Eva Kemlein, a holocaust survivor trained as a forensic photographer. Kemlein was hired to photograph the sick body of The Berlin City Palace before its set demolition in 1950. Using her scientific documentation, the Palace was rebuilt and re-opened as the Humboldt Forum in 2021. Its spirit was strong enough to survive. Lingner was one of many public figures who advocated to preserve the palace before its initial destruction. Historical idea’s which developed around architectural and landscape preservation inspired landscape planners, ecologists and Nazi’s to try and prevent the spiritual and literal erosion of German architecture and soil. Starting in the 1930s, there was a linguistic trend which anthropomorphized the German cultural landscape. It was often described as a mono-cultural organism, suggesting the possibility of a homogenous cultural spirit embedded into the land itself. The organism of the cultural landscape needed to be saved from degradation. Despite efforts to prevent spiritual erosion through landscape preservation, unhealthy spirits still infest Germany. They inhabit the soil, architecture and the language.

ZACH HART Zach Hart (NYC 1994) is an artist based in Berlin. His practice spans different disciplines while his background in experimental film, sculpture and literature inform his artistic work. He has a longstanding interest in artificial landscape design and urbanism. His moving image, sound and installation works often fictionalize history or draw upon documentary images in order to provoke new connections between historical discourses/image making practices and contemporary politics. From 2018, he has collaborated with Alexandra Wilson on a series of moving image installation works. He received a BA from Hampshire College and a Masters in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts at UDK, Berlin. ALEXANDRA WILSON Alexandra Wilson (NYC 1993), is a Barcelona-based multi-media artist working primarily in sculpture, costume/fiber, and film. Driven by her experience as a textile maker, her work concentrates on the process of fabrication. Tools (both domestic & industrial), schematic diagrams, and urban plannings are sources of inspiration. She integrates digital manipulations with traditional image making in order to shift perspective and dimensional understandings of quotidian objects. Since 2018, she has collaborated with Zach Hart on a series of moving image installation works. She received a BA from Hampshire College in 2016.

La nuit, des ouvriers creusent le sable dans une fosse. A l?aube, autour d?eux, les tours immenses d?une ville futuriste se dressent parcourues par de faibles activités humaines. Progressivement des détails apparaissent, les pierres se détachent, le sable coule, les sols se désagrègent. Fragile sur ces bases, la ville semble dans un temps paradoxale de destruction et de construction, une future ruine appelée à se dissoudre. Achrone, adjectif invariant issu de la physique et de la médecine, désigne une région sur laquelle il est impossible d`observer une temporalité précise. Tourné et photographié en 2008 dans les chantiers de la ville de Dubaï, en résonance avec les cycles de travail diurnes et nocturnes des ouvriers, Achrone développe une recomposition abstraite des rapports de force entre architecture et nature.

Après des études à L`Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris et à l`Université des Sciences Humaines de Strasbourg, Cécile Hartmann développe un travail au croisement de l`art contemporain et du cinéma. Dans une perspective picturale et politique, mêlants esthétique post-minimaliste et dimension documentaire, ses films explorent des phénomènes d`échange et d`entrechoquement entre différents mondes et systèmes en mutation. La question d`une transformation poétique de l`histoire par une recomposition des rapports de force entre le construit et l`organique est centrale dans son travail. Elle a vécue plusieurs mois au Japon et à Berlin lors de résidences et de recherches. Ses tournages ont eu lieu à Dubaï, Tokyo, Hiroshima et sur l?archipel des Açores. Son travail est montré aussi bien dans des festivals de cinéma que dans des dispositifs d`exposition où ses films fonctionnent dans des boucles très précises. Plusieurs expositions personnelles lui ont été consacrées récemment : Supra-Continent au Centre d`art Les Eglises, Mirages à demeure au Centre Photographique d`Ile-de-France, Microclimat au CCC. En 2009, elle expose au Musée de la Photographie de Thessalonique et au musée d`Art Moderne de Bogotà et participe à la Force de l?Art en 2006 à Paris et à Emerging Artists au Samlung Essl de Vienne en 2005. Des textes critiques de Pascal Beausse, Paul Ardenne et Eileen Sommerman ont été écrits sur son travail. Elle est née en 1971 à Colmar et vit et travaille à Paris et dans le monde. 

Deux lieux se rapprochent dans un mouvement d?alternance et de réversibilité : le centre financier de la bourse de Tokyo et les cratères volcaniques de l?archipel des Açores. Les fluctuations économiques se relient aux secousses telluriques à la recherche d?un point d?attache et d?équilibre. Un sentiment de douce inquiétude émerge de cet état de rencontre.

Vivant à Paris, Cécile Hartmann née en 1971 à Colmar aborde l?image par les médiums de la peinture, de la photographie et plus récemment de la vidéo. D?emblée, son travail se situe du côté d?une image méditative, dans une négociation entre le mystère, le songe, l?utopie et une réalité contemporaine liée aux grands ensembles urbains, à leur influence sur l?espace terrestre et sur les modes de vie des êtres qui l?habitent. Paradoxalement, la portée critique et politique des ?uvres s?exprime dans des formes magnifiées, non autoritaires aux limites du fantastique. Le minimalisme des compositions, l?emplois de couleurs saturées ou encore la présence fréquente sur les sujets d?une trame poudreuse, confèrent à ses images fixes comme à ses ?uvres vidéos un caractère hypnotique et sensuel. Diplômée de l?Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts de Paris en 1998 et d?une Licence d?Arts Plastiques et d?Histoire de l?Art en 1994, elle participe notamment à l?exposition La Force de l?Art, en 2006 à Paris, à Emerging Artists à Vienne en 2005. Elle était résidente à la Cité Internationale des Arts à Paris en 2006 et au Japon en 2004 dans le cadre de la Villa Médicis Hors les Murs. Ses ?uvres font partie de la collection du Fonds Nationale d?Art Contemporain.

Le pipeline géant Keystone transporte chaque jour plus de 700 000 barils de résidus impurs depuis les exploitations à ciel ouvert de la forêt Boréale à travers les Grandes Plaines des Sioux, souillant les terres et les réserves d'eau. Dans une plongée au coeur des ténèbres, l'histoire contemporaine retrouve le temps prophétique des commencements :"lorsqu’il n’y avait ni lune ni étoile”, le lieu des spectres, du surgissement et de la disparition.

Cécile Hartmann is a french artist and filmmaker based in Paris. Born in Colmar, she studies Art at the National Fine Arts Academy of Paris (2000) and Art History in Human Sciences at the University of Strasbourg. Inspired by documentary aesthetics and Minimalism, her work questionnes the divisions between a constructed world and a natural world. Using different mediums and image regimes she fuses video, photography and performative gestures to create effects of instability and sublimity in her representations. Close to the terrestrial surface, in search for hidden layers and collective mythologies, her cinematic language plays on the indecisive nature of perception, between the visible and invisible, the organic and non-organic, past and futur. Main exhibitions included : Le Serpent Noir, MABA, Nogent-sur-Marne, Achrone, MOCA, Hiroshima, Et voici la lumière, Museo de Arte del Banco de la República, Bogotá, The family of the invisibles, SEMA Séoul Museum of Art, AGITATIONISM, Eva Internationale Bienniale, Limerick, De la Casa a la Fabrica, Palau la Virreina, Barcelone, French Edges, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Paysages de la conscience, MAMBO, Bogotà, Microclimat, CCC, Tours.
