(I)FRAME

tmdb
Documentary

A video is a stream of information, and this moving image relies upon the relationship of static frames, which are algorithmically determined. In the language of video compression, the (I) frames are the reference points between which movement is interpolated. Manual deletion or misplacement of (I) frames results in a video glitch known as a datamosh: the stream of nformation d srupted, d sorgan zed … nterupeted … lost … the ( ) frame removed, rejected … BUT, reclaimed, the (I) frames, the burning bolts of the machine, are at once reasserted in this dance macabre ... (I) FRAME is a mechanical ballet set to the original tempo that characterizes motion on screen at 24 "(I) frames" a second...

(IKB) - Body Print Into Landscape

tmdb
Documentary

The piece is a reference to Yves Klein’s work Anthropometry, in which the artist used naked women as ‘human paintbrushes’, creating paintings that were results of elaborate performances in front of an audience. To Klein, the female figure was the canon of human proportion, an anthropometric symbol that he described as “the most concentrated expression of vital energy imaginable”. The same blue colour used by him (International Klein Blue IKB) is used by Marcy Petit as she becomes a human paintbrush too.

(In)Voluntary Retirements

tmdb
Documentary

On July 2nd, 2008, at five thirty in the afternoon, a 53-year-old man called Jean-Michel was run over by a train in Saint-Lyé, a town with a population of 3,000 located in the east of France. No one knew whether it was a suicide or an accident. The director investigates around the town, asks different inhabitants what they think of that tragedy. For many people, Jean-Michel had killed himself, after amassing too many worries and problems; the more the voiceover asks, the more mysterious it all gets. But there is a detail from Jean-Michel’s life that connects him to Argentina—he had been an employee at a phone company until a privatization left him without a job. (In)Voluntary Retirements is a documentary that shows how the kinship between Argentina’s politics in the ‘90s and France’s twenty years later damaged the lives of so many people.

(In)continente

tmdb
Documentary

"Greater is the hatred that has inspired us, than the sea that separates us from it" reads one of the most significant sentences of Simón Bolívar's Letter of Jamaica. The work revolves around this phrase, whose words appear and disappear in the course of the sequence of images, disjointed from the cohesion that brings them together only at the end of the video to form that programmatic declaration that defends independence. The sentence is thus evidenced as a procedural symbolic knot, the result of a complex history and its possible articulations. The images of the video, in a constant swaying of a boat in the water, open up to the dimensions of the immensity of that sea that serves Bolivar as a metaphorization of the magnitude of the hatred that forces him to revolt against the colonizers. It is a sea in which is inscribed, in turn, a new history, which, as a possible reading, forces us to think of other colonizations and economic dependencies.

(In)fidèles

tmdb
Documentary

"(In)fidèle" explores the relationship to fidelity of 10 people between the ages of 23 and 31. Infidelity is like the elephant in the room no one dares to talk about. It fascinates and sparks curiosity, but digging too deep might hurt. We keep it at a distance as long as we’re not personally involved, yet we indulge in gossip and "story times" when it’s about others. A distant way to either judge it or spy on it, but never truly confront it. And yet, the numbers speak for themselves: 41% of people have already been unfaithful at least once in their life, and that number keeps growing every year.

Documentary

Being mother is the most natural thing in the world. Or so it seems. Yet the demands on women with children have rarely been as overloaded and contradictory as they are in today’s Western world. Promises of happiness are often followed by disadvantages, excessive demands and feelings of guilt. The mother has become an artificially glorified ideal, which nevertheless is often legitimized by the „nature of the woman“. We live in a time when three people could claim to be the same child’s mother: egg donors give their genes to beget children, surrogate mothers deliver babies which they give away immediately after birth, and men raise children by themselves – without a woman at their side. Hence the question arises: What makes a human being a real mother?
