sadescription 25 Horizontes
5mn11   color   mono   2011   Mexico
by Camilo Barreneche
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.

sadescription Breaking Up Is Hard to Do
11mn   color   stereo   2011   United Kingdom
by Hannah Beadman
"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.

sadescription Déraciné
10mn45   color   stereo   2012   Canada
by Isabelle Hayeur
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.

1mn50   color   stereo   2011   France
by Bob Kohn
Filming people without a camera. Compacted, contracted, molded, kneaded, accelerated, multiplied, chained, unchained, exploded, cut up, tortured, ... .. the "Slices of Life" grind up human, to life, to death and to love. 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.

The beginning is another movie, an american noir of the early 60s: gutted and disemboweled, tortured and "detourned" images organize themselves into precarious and evolving structures, intertwined in multiples and twisted plots in a state of permanent collapse. The aim is to incite the explosion of a closed system through a dispositive of audiovisual implosions. Forget what you see while you are actually watching it, and soak in a vibrating, optical ancestry. A scream without a reason.
