11 years happens in Medanos, a town of 5,000 inhabitants of the Province of Buenos Aires, an unprecedented event. A group of boys and girls with artistic interests, decided to get together and organize actions to not migrate.

This group takes one of the greatest works of political activism in the Argentine art scene, show that you can work in a class without having to constantly look outside is one of the objectives of the documentary.

Tehran Trace takes the same motion path slowly and silently across four still photographs; the foyer of the Hotel Laleh, the Mirror Hall of the Golestan Palace, a stone arch towards the north of the city, and a bazaar with a view of mountains. Each "trace" begins close up, curves away from its opening subject and ends with the original image fully framed.

Schmutziges Licht (Lichtphon Art-Avant X) An abstract, poetic visual-sound-drama The visual, tonal union and view of transcendent embodiment. A symbiosis of micro-coded, floating light-dust particles, interconnected in cracked soundscapes, layered sound cells, residual impulses and dissecting short-time cuts in noise structures. A self-born symbiotic being - alive through dissolution and constant change in time - Metamorphoses - Schmutziges Licht (Lichtphon Art-Avant X) is transformation in the beauty of decay and nonexistence. In the change of sight and hearing, reality and the levels of being resonate. Form and formlessness become inseparable. The unknown emerges, moves, penetrates into the observer, into us - becomes conscious and existent - Inner perception is infinite - Schmutziges Licht (Lichtphon Art-Avant X) is a multi-layered light-image-sound-vision. An artistic position and poetic exploration of the perception of artificial light and the unknown in the incarnate - of selfhood in an eternally lasting word in silence. On the technical side, the music consists of several hundred audio tracks with thousands of individual sounds. The visual level is based on a self-developed software particle system. There are hundreds of thousands coded pixel points, cross- linked lines and inner networked connections. Micro-audio clips, multi-level, time-independent organic soundscapes and digital visual light codes. Schmutziges Licht (Lichtphon Art-Avant X) is a complex visual sound correlation. Abstract, mysterious, filigree, powerful and subtle at the same time. A German-French co-production by the experimental artists Schahram Poursoudmand (DE) and Yoann Trellu (FR). Note: Schmutziges Licht (Lichtphon Art-Avant X) is created and produced to be played loud and projected in high quality. Please listen to it loud or via headphones. ...the night becomes the day - Light Overload - Schmutziges Licht (Dirty light) is artificial light. Excessive use of artificial light and its misuse (light pollution) on humans and the environment. Fatal consequences through the artificially constructed and manipulated lightening of the night by humans...

Schahram Poursoudmand Music & Sound Art, Composer, Visual Imagist, Poet Schahram Poursoudmand is a German composer, music & sound artist, visual imagist and poet. He creates extraordinary music, sound and visual art of a unique kind. In the avant-garde projects LICHTPHON, ONEVERYMOON, LICHTSCHREI, SHINE and ART-AVANT, he explores and realizes his artistic visions of music, sound, visual image and video art in existential poetry. The creative discovery of beauty through disintegration, dissolution, transformation, recreation and the representation of being and beyond in the transition from existence to non-existence is the essential approach and destination in his artistic passion. Music, sound, image and moving picture is stretched and condensed in form, time and space. Tonal and visual entities, sections and details, become disintegrated through dissolution in themselves and creates new structures, unknown realities and avant-garde elements by further deformation, in the beauty of decomposition. Existence, time, duality, deconstruction, humanism, transcendence, the infinite moment, the unknown, and recreation are some of the themes in his works. Schahram Poursoudmand creates unreal worlds of music, sound, visual art and poetry of strange beauty with unique aesthetics and expression. A surreal and bizarre mystery in music and visual art. „The fascination of renewal after the dissolution. The discovery and changing of time and time states. The artistic deconstruction, the diving into deep micro- and nanostructured soundworlds, as well as the representation of beauty in the creation of existence in nonexistence and new realities are the themes that stirs and fascinates me. Not the clearly audible and visible - but the secret behind the veil.“ * ...another world...an unknown place...an unknown time... * ::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yoann Trellu French video artist and software developer based in Berlin. Starts working with live video projections in 1999, Nantes, France. Moves to Berlin in 2003 and starts working with choreographers, creating media environment for stage productions. Yoann Trellu works internationally on numerous stage productions as well as developing his own projects through collaborations with musicians and dancers. His work is mostly abstract and stems from his early photographic work, using the camera and digital tools to alter reality, to extend details and moments into their own world. He considers the computer as a collaborator, able to suggest and create artistic elements. Using controlled randomness and probability is an important aspect of his practice, giving rules, limitations and (unlimited) variations on which to build further.

The video opens with a character dressed in red, roaming a forest, searching for something in a quest that started before the beginning of the film. Like a contemporary Sisyphus, the character goes on with his task without respite, blind to the eye staring at him. The density of the forest sits between a long-distance perception of the character and an enclosing proximity due to the distinctness of the sounds when he moves (branches cracking, breathing, etc). The window scans the forest area around the character who appears to be a fixed spot on the projection surface. This space, this distance created between his outlying perception and his sonorous presence (as well as the one of the shooting device), allows the uncertainties of an image and its author (the one who is filming) to appear, the latter seemingly more lost in his filming intentions than the protagonist who, like Sisyphus, accepts his fate. Destructuring and dislocating each of the elements that make up an illusion could be a way to put the viewer back in his real-time position.

Yvan Pousset was born in 1977 in Rennes, France. After general artistic studies, he followed them up at Beaux-Arts d'Angers as a sculptor, and four years ago started to express himself through video work. All of his work in this medium is centred on the search of a materiality in the vibration of the pixels.

Formé aux Beaux-Arts de 1999 à 2005, mes réalisations questionnent le corps et ses pratiques dans des installations-vidéo et vidéos expérimentales. Vidéaste indépendant, je confronte mon travail de recherche à d`autres disciplines artistiques (théâtre, musique, danse), ainsi qu`au contact de populations diverses (écoles, démarche participative, instituts d`études) et dans la volonté de lier création plastique et citoyenneté.

Trained at the Beaux-Arts of Paris from 1999 to 2005, my works question the body and its practises in installation videos and experimental videos. As an independent video director, I confront my research to other artistic fields (theater, music, dance) as well as to the contact of various populations (schools, participative processes, studies institutes) and with the will to link plastic creation and citizenship.

This project is an attempt at a residual image of the construction of the La Engaña tunnel. It is a fabric made from the threads of various intertwined stories expressed in fragments of memory, identity and history, inviting re-readings of an unfinished tale somewhere between fact and fiction. The La Engaña tunnel, with its 6,976 m length, was at the time the longest tunnel ever built in the Iberian Peninsula. This giant railway infrastructure lies between Burgos and Cantabria, and was the last stretch of an ambitious project to create a train link between the city of Santander and the Mediterranean coast. In 1941, the office in charge of public works deployed squads of political prisoners to the area. There they began building worker’s settlements, together with other laborers from all over Spain. The tunnel was completed in 1961, but the project was put on hold until 1985 when the government decided to abandon it. Inside the room, one screen shows the historic trepanning of a mountain and its interior bracing, rivalling in proficiency with a team of operatives who hollow out a pachyderm before mounting its inner frame. On the other screen, an elephant advances through the ruined remains of platforms, a station and the former worker’s homes before ending up inside the tunnel. The animal’s state connects with the accounts of survivors in terms of physicality, emotional charge and feelings of grief. On both screens, the actions of digging and emptying draw on the poems Digging by Seamus Heaney and The Hollow Men by T. S. Eliot, as if each were stationed Metaphorically at one of the tunnel’s extremes. A third screen in the hall depicts a recent action performed at the southern mouth of the La Engaña tunnel, now sealed off by a wall. A worker is engaged in restoring the missing letter « E ». Lodged inside the new « E » is a time capsule with the spoken testimonies of survivors who worked at both ends of the tunnel. This tunnel is a deep hole in the body of history, the inside of a belly emptied ofits organs, a cave, a dark abyss, a wound, but also the door that leads us to theunknown and an entrance to advance from, in spite of the warning.

The impetus to think how this project has been pulled to start from the end, is a symptom of the crisis of historical experience. As the seminaries in the Basque Country began to close, their pedagogical methods have been reduced to the imagination of several generations. "LOVE NEEDS TIME TO KILL" is about the emptiness distilled by the loss of what’s natural and cultural. Over recent decades Franciscan seminaries, along with those of other Orders, have been closing down across the Basque Country. With their closing, comes the loss of a pedagogy that has been a fundamental pillar in the education and identity of the Basque Country. Part of the pedagogical approach was to have large collections of plant and animal specimens, collected from missions in the American, African, and Asian colonies. This research project connects the identity of the diaspora in the missions and their forgotten pedagogical approach to the construction of an exotic and colonial imaginary. On the stage of a small theater in one of the closed seminaries, we have recreated a Baroque still-life scene from the 17th century. The still-life becomes a form of barricade, a gesture of struggle and resistance, in which the inert yet expressive bodies of the animals assert a sense of destiny and uncertainty that has accompanied us from the Romantic era through to present day.

U.N(Inverse) is a project that delves into mechanisms of historical complexity from tracks of fragmentation as questions of interpretation, narration and fiction that has surrounded the construction of the United Nations, specifically the architectural complex of the New York headquarters. Constant changes of reference models have taken me to the crossroads between the idealism of the moment and the symbolism, the architecture and the cinema, sharing the limelight at a time of collapse. In terms of architecture, the decongestion and suspension proposed by Le Corbusier compared to the ideological vacuum of Wallace (the architect in vogue at that time), the backdrop of the cinema in the middle of the Cold War and as now the UNO is surrounded by Hollywood stars to promote themselves abroad; in this way Peter Pan?s Tinkerbell is the new ambassadress of the United Nations.

The young Swiss economist Hans travels to Thailand with his mum to visit his grandmother in “Vita Bona”, a care home for European seniors. The facility has changed its name and is hard to find at first. When they finally arrive, it is completely different from what they expected: a perfectly styled wellness retreat for young people. While Hans indulges in the beauty of the place, Daniela wanders through the labyrinthine complex in search of her mother and observes strange occurrences. Where are the senior citizens? What is the manager Mrs. Vasall hiding behind her charming smile? This conceptual VR film is a dystopian parable about the outsourcing of care work, as produced by our neo-colonialist globalized economic system. “Vivo Vision” refers to a way of seeing that Ms. Vasall, the manager of the resort, has invented. Wellness retreat and retirement home are present in the same place, but without interfering with each other. While the young people practice yoga poses by the pool, the seniors and workers have been relocated to another, invisible level. “Vivo Vision” is a view of the world in which everything that is considered unproductive in a capitalist logic has become invisible.

Since 2018 Pöschl has focused on ways in which societies of the global north respond to the ‘care crisis’. Pöschl has received various prizes for her work: in 2022 she was granted the state scholarship for media art, in 2021 the Young Artist’s Award (City of Vienna). Her films and installations have been shown in several solo presentations, a.o.

CASA DO SOL explores the work and legacy of Brazilian writer Hilda Hilst (1930-2004). Often described as the Marquis de Sade of Brazil, her astonishing work takes up mysticism, insanity, embodiment, eroticism, and female sexual liberation. Hilst is one of the most important Portuguese ­language authors of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, her work is virtually unknown in our community. CASA DO SOL, translated from the Portuguese “House of the Sun” is the name of Hilst’s home. During her lifetime, her residence was an important gathering site for writers, artists and intellectuals. Today, CASA DO SOL holds her archive, and hosts an intimate residency program which allows writers and artists to breathe in the compound’s earthy magic. Prancha’s video, CASA DO SOL, was shot on location at Hilst’s house and gardens during summer of 2019 and uses the text of one of Hilst’s short stories. This experimental video explores sexuality and the colonial through the political and poetic militancy of Hilst’s writing.

Sebastian of Portugal disappeared in the battle of Alcácer Quibir and is often referred to as The Desired by the Portuguese. The people of Lençóis believe that the ghost of Sebastian of Portugal haunts their Brazilian island. Some see themselves as direct descendants of the king. They also believe that every first Friday of every month king Sebastian visits the beach in full armour and on his horse, and that a subterranean ouroboros will swallow the island some day. A group of people who inhabit the island of Lençóis on the Northeast of Brazil and their interest in the myth of D. Sebastião I (Sebastian of Portugal ­ 1554­-1578).

Cities (Territories & Occupation) is about "the city" divided into districts, neighborhoods, zones and domains, marked by inner-city borderlines. The film investigates how cities emerge and change through inclusion and exclusion, migration, decay, destruction, demolition, relocation, displacement. Urban territories, districts are characterized by different social processes, business relationships, power relations, private affairs. We wonder how urban territories are formed and why they change? Who controls the city or how do the inhabitants create free spaces? Who owns the city?

The theme of the film HIDDEN CITIES is personal urban perceptions, which we call »the city«. The city, as a living organism, reflecting social processes and interactions, economic relations, political conditions and private matters. In the city, human memories, desires and tragedies find expression in the form of designations and marks engraved in house walls and paving slabs. But what the city really is under this thick layer of signs, what it contains or conceals, is what we are researching in the HIDDEN CITIES project. The source material for the film are 9 sequential photo works created by Gusztáv Hámos between 1975 and 2010. Each of these »city perceptions« depicts essential situations of urban experiences containing human and inhuman acts in a compact form. The cities in which the photo sequences have been made are Berlin, Budapest and New York ? places with a traumatised past: Wars, dictatorships, terrorist catastrophes.
