The human need to move from one territory to another has been increases considerably today as a result of globalization. Travel between cities and across borders is one of the most common behaviors, the continuing exodus of communities involves not only the pleasure and tourism, but as goals, seeking a better quality of life based on education and the economy, or in extreme cases involves seeking refuge and asylum. In my case, as a visual artist, travel has become the work itself. Any creative process is in response to the direct influence of where I live, where I am or where i transit. Interest in tackling the trip as an artistic work in different ways, such as photography and video is not only based on observation and interpretation of the movements and spatial and temporal displacements but also the need to adapt the changes that contemporary art have, around the tools that facilitate the integration of necessary information for the artistic work, as the recognition of new spaces, new forms of creation that mutate and become indispensable for the development of artistic processes. As more as i found transient proceses of artwork, appears necessary elements to undertake new and comprehensive models created between time, space and drift.

Each percussive 'CLACK' of the analog switch shifts our perspective, playing equally with camera and mic positioning, separating a/v pairs to create disjunctive relationships. When groups of switches are held down simultaneously, the signals merge to create colorful drifting and massive harmonic drones. From awkward silences to enticing fragmentation, the artist’s presence in the work both engages and repels the viewer, causing reflection on signals in their purest state, no effects, no edits, no way to erase mistakes and vulnerabilities.

Five arms are struggling to silence three telephones, an alarm clock and a timer without success. This rejection of communication and more generally of what connects us to time is a pretext for a new experimentation where you "hear what you see" and vice versa. These simple gestures, intended to break an unwanted process, are repeated in a quasi-schizophrenic way. The result is a choreographic and musical fight that will end with some effort.

After Empire
52mn color & b/w stereo 2010
Belgium
by Herman
Asselberghs
production : Auguste Orts
distribution : Auguste Orts
A search for the alternative to an image of meaning, inspired by Antonio Negri’s and Michael Hardt’s "Empire". The insights from this politico-philosophical study on the contemporary world serve as a starting point for a reflection on positive forms of collective resistance and emancipatory representations in times of war. An adaptation that doesn’t aim to be an illustration of "Empire" but that reworks it in the light of the 9/11 heritage. "After Empire" considers a possible alternative for the iconic image that our collective memory has kept as the quintessential moment of recent history: the hijacked plane hitting the second tower. The alternative: the 15th of February 2003. On that day 30 million citizens across the planet marched against the unilateral decision by the American government to start a pre-emptive war against Iraq under the auspices of “the war on terrorism”. 2/15 was the greatest peace demonstration since the Vietnam war and probably the biggest protest march ever to take place. The war did happen, but this world day of resistance could very well mark the beginning of the 21st century. 2/15 instead of 9/11: a key date in the writing of a history of global contestation in the struggle between two superpowers: the United States against public opinion worldwide.

"Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" evokes such loss and anxiety. Landscapes are internal, psychological. Melodrama is used as a manageable sentimental site. Arrested, moving canvases are a replayed accident: reflecting, refocusing, and reappropriating re-membered Self-parts. These environments are facets, the last drawing on Constructivism’s antithesis to Modernism, as earthing, rebuilding, to conclude as a narrative. Each environment is a facet of experience, while the last canvas draws on Russian Constructivism’s antithesis to Modernism, as earthing, building, retrieval of parts, to conclude as a narrative.

Time is relentless. I'm worried, watching a puddle of water invisibly evaporate before my eyes, asking myself what will remain as I deal with the fallout of an ancestry that is slowly, mercilessly vanishing from this earth. I miss their bodily presence but that's not the only sorrow I feel. I grieve the loss of guided wisdoms, collective histories and the stories I was never told. Filmed over a period of two months in late 2008 as I helplessly watched my mother lose her battle with cancer, the single channel video. Capsule is a personal journey as well as an urgent inventory of the precious, final moments I wished to collect and suspend in time. Past blends with present as bedtime stories, children's toys and old photographs attempt to counter the distressing reality of syringes, bandages, get-well cards, and the last birthday we celebrated together as a family.

Belgium
by Aglaia
Konrad
production : Auguste Orts
distribution : Auguste Orts
"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 film Carrara, shows the marble quarry; within its 'sculpted' landscape, its temporary architecture and art-historical references form a more radical complement, to the two churches.

"Correspondances" (matches) is to be taken in every sense of the word. The film begins in the subways of various cities. An escalator takes you from Barcelona to Kyoto via Berlin. Images of the world sent by a press correspondent, anecdotes told in letters to friends, to relatives, from a correspondent. But they are also the coïncidences between the images and the sounds which, sliding over each other, seem to have affinities, to create links, to make sense. Sense yet always fugitive, already other before being really intelligible. Moving strata of images spread a part of the illusions that we share in our constant search for concordances, correlations and harmony.

Recent technological changes have transformed natural and rural environments, to the point of producing uniform, ever-more polluted environments in their stead. Uprooted probes these territories fashioned by man, deciphering in them his relationship to his environment, thereby questioning his ways of being. Critical of environmental and urban developments, this video explores the peripheries of some North American cities, strangely alike from one to the next, in that none of them feels like somewhere. Their excessively wide spaces, standardized and shapeless, generate a sense of uneasiness. Urban upheavals can turn the most familiar locale into an unrecognizable, anonymous, even forbidding place. On this blank slate, local memory is forever erased.

"Heaven" is a monologue based on the theme of love, expressed through oneiric visionary suggestions. The archetypal idea of the double is played by an angelic presence splitted into two inclinations: one towards the tangible earthly world, the other that expands into the ascetical world. The encounter of the two essences leads to humanize the ethereal part, reacting to the extreme need of love, always suspended between heaven and hell, between sky and earth, between spirit and matter. The video is shot in full HD using the chromakey. The virtual sets are made of digital images and animations. Original dance, music and costumes.

"Je pense à toi, Mon Amour" is about complex passions artists experience with things (such as Cezanne's Ste.

"Je pense à toi, Mon Amour" takes a look at the emotions viewers of art experience in viewing works of "art-things" forever viewed differently through the possession of that object through the psyche of the artist's creative processing.

Always disappearing, it is the memory of a peaceful and natural moment, remote, which comes and goes from the surface in stages, in pieces. This constructed image reflects our split up feelings, activated by our manipulated and organized contemporary views. "Lamento" stands for a heart impregnated with nostalgia for the calm, for the simple, for time that is stretched.

"A violent wind generates the images. The atmosphere is air tight (and stale?). Silent bodies in front of the mirror. The ritual of small repetitive gestures opens the scene at the hairdressers. In an unpredictable and fragile present, the traces of a past world hussle themselves within carved faces. The storm quiets itself. A slow lethargy takes over everyday life: some people are eating, singing, playing ,some are walking in the sculpted out spaces. These lives are silenced by slowly sinking into the ordinary world, bodies swinging themselves at the gates of deep sleep. Then, one day, humanity wakes up and crosses over to the exterior side. Armed with wise gestures and precious postures, they watch with a smile an uneasy world falling apart. The event has already taken place. The last men are standing straight as trees, eternal survivors witnessing the disaster of the absent world within the world. From this consistant and unchangeable absence, these last men save the images." – Nikki Giannari

A real "shopping of life" among all the shelves of supermarkets and corner stores of the everyday life staging. Film sequences, known or not, they are gone somewhere else to play a score that wasn't their. As in music, the tone of a film is expressed by the force of its own leitmotiv, by the almost hypnotic repetition of the simple measure of his purpose. This film is also a video installation.

It is inspired by French author Roland Barthes 's texts and concerns the wrestler's expressive emphasis when performing.

Looking at and listening to the city, in an off beat manner. A 24-hour non-stop photo shoot with sound recording, against the tide of lives set as per the working class standard. On the metro, by foot, on a bus, on a taxi, following the crowd or walking in the opposite direction, by day and by night. SANS SOMMEIL is a short film made up of still images with live sound recording. It is a visual and sound journey across Paris, as a subjective sample of a 24-hour cycle including accelerations, pauses, silences. Whether she crosses a hectic market place or a never-ending underground corridor, whether she gets lost among the crowd or wanders through the night-time desert of a city fast asleep, the director attempts to decipher the language of the city, to escape its chaos so as to better unveil its secret poetry. From 7 am to 7 am the next morning, with no sleep.

The beautiful language is rich in text and images, but it is hard to read. The cut-up technique, popularised in William Burroughs' texts is applied here to the images, with fragments of fraught exchanges appearing in a non-linear fashion. The images are taken from L'enfant sauvage ("The Wild Child"), François Truffaut's 1970 film, based on the true story, from the end of the 18th century, of an "uncivilised" boy being taken in by a doctor and studied as a specimen of difference. The images chosen for "The beautiful language" show the child being measured, taught and tested.

A real "shopping of life" among all the shelves of supermarkets and corner stores of the everyday life staging. Film sequences, known or not, they are gone somewhere else to play a score that wasn't their. As in music, the tone of a film is expressed by the force of its own leitmotiv, by the almost hypnotic repetition of the simple measure of his purpose. This film is also a video installation.

In almost all Latin American cultures the process of continuous disappearance of indigenous languages is a fact. It’s paradoxical to find versions of national anthems in these languages and dialects. This video is a challenge to the figure of colonialism which involves a seemingly harmless exercise in the translation in to their background language, by the way indigenous celebrates the disappearance of their own cultural expression. The video installation is composed by a zenithal projection of a funeral. To the extent that the soil covers the coffin, the volume of the sound decreases until it disappears. The sound is the national anthem Colombia translated into the Nasawaye language of the Nassa ethnic group.

"Transformance" is a video-event-work that activates and documents a five-month durational performance. Over this period of time, Nina Kurtela establishes a daily practice of visiting and witnessing the changes at the building site of the Uferstudios, Wedding, Berlin - the warehouse for the repair of public trams and buses becomes a dance institution. She is spectator to the making of an institution, an art institution, the making of the theatre stage. The camera acts as a witness to her performing/witnessing. The piece emerges as a case study of an individual subject's encounter with the radical transformations of social structures and operative models within the performing society. The artist is present at the birth of Berlin's new contemporary dance centre, an institution that will certainly come to play a part in shaping and organizing the dynamic of the city's dance community. The work emerges in the force field of a commitment to the daily execution of present-ness in relation to the specific context where this act takes place: the building site of the theatre. What unfolds is a 8-minute work with multi-faceted implications. The body is rendered a statue through the changes of time. The screen becomes the performing skin.
