26-#THE_EVERYDAY CHANTAL AKERMAN. LA CHAMBRE, 1972. 11’
In La chambre, Akerman draws from a “discourse of the everyday” in order to create a series of ultimately ambiguous contrasts and metaphors. The camera literally spins in circles, gesturing to the patriarchal entrapment of a woman in the domestic space; it is repetitive, there is no escape. breakthrough formal experiment is the first film the director made in New York.
Chantal Akerman(1950-2015) is a Belgian filmmaker who took a profoundly personal and aesthetically idiosyncratic approach to film form, using it to investigate geography and identity, space and time, sexuality and religion.

29. #APOCALYPSE MICHAEL JOHN WHELAN. THE MEMOIRS OF A MADAM, 2007
6’30" 16mm
This 16mm film work is made up of fragments of appropriated German educational films about volcanic activity. Once cut together, the length of film was then written on using the text The Memoirs of a Madman by Leo Tolstoy. The text is written longitudinally along the film so to read the text one would have to view the film centimeter by centimeter.

53. #LACK_OF_FEELING JUMANA EMIL ABBOUD. I FEEL NOTHING, 2013, 8'07"
GUEST//AARON CEZAR
Aaron Cezar is the founding Director of Delfina Foundation (London), where he develops and oversees its interrelated programme of residencies, exhibitions and public platforms
This project began as a multi-faceted investigation into the sense of touch: lack of feeling, the relationship between the body and memory; between land and it's "spiritual" history, superstitions, old wives' tales, sacred stones and talismans as once deeply woven within Palestinian identity. I Feel Nothing is a video-poem inspired from these ideas, and from Palestinian fairytale The Handless Maiden. Metaphorical throughout, a relationship is recounted, though remains ambiguous if it is between a man and a woman, life and death, the past and the present, or an individual and a homeland.
Jumana Emil Abboud (b. 1971) lives and works in Jerusalem, Palestine. She uses drawing, video, performance, objects and text to navigate themes of memory, loss and resilience. She poses questions related to memory as read through the body, through folklores and folktales, through home and homeland, and through cultural ritual or practice.

59. #DIRTY_POLITICS CLARISSA TOSSIN. WHITE MARBLE EVERYWHERE, 2009, 5'42"
My house describes the genesis of House music and of its creator. The track tells of the birth of a universal language that man experiences through dance, to search for spiritual values of unity and brotherhood. The site, main character of the video, is a private house, part of a buildings complex of a historic popular working- class neighbourhood of Rome. M., the owner (he asked to remain anonymous), was born in 1947, and began to paint and collect lost items when very young. Its first image, a saint, was hung on the wall above the bed in 1971. The gateway does not have a lock. The house is always open.
Giorgio Orbi (b.1977) is an Italian artist born in Rome. Before beginning to regularly exhibit his work in art spaces, he took part in the Italian underground music and art creative scene of the nineties. He is a writer, musician, filmmaker, photographer, visual artist and alpinist.

65. #ON_BOREDOM ADRIEN MISSIKA. REGARDE LES MOUCHES VOLER, 2012, 6'06"
The video Regarde Les Mouches Voler opens up completely different temporal levels, asynchronism and shifts in perception. In this work, a fly is recorded crossing the field of view with the help of a high-speed imaging technique borrowed from the scientific world. In exaggerated slow motion and constant anticipation, we trace a movement that normally can't be perceived by the human eye. Each individual wing beat seems almost cumbersome and monumental. The perceived film time is diametrically opposed to the actual flight time. In the spirit of the French expression "Regarde Les Mouches Voler" (en. “to stare into space”; literally “to watch flies”), stasis and motion collide and create a timeless zone in the realm of idleness and boredom.
Adrien Missika (b. 1981) is a French artist whose work encompasses photography, video, sculpture and installation, through which he shares finds encountered during his travels, playing on the idea of an exotic representation of the places he visits.

70. #DESERTED_ARCHITECTURE SISKA. A TRAGIC TALE OF FIRE WATER AND RADON, 2014, 5'03"
This video was shot in Bad Gastein (Austria) inside the local Congress Center, a modernist concrete building with red interior built in the 1960’s and that has been deserted since the 90’s. The architect Gerhard Garstenauer, one of the few representatives of alpine modernism created a building in stark contrast to the Belle Époque environment of the small city that once used to serve as a hotspot for aristocrats and politicians since its emergence as a spa location during the 18th and 19th century. Buildings of both eras are now left behind in a desolate state, making them seem utterly historical. The video functions as a trailer for a jet set crime film shot on super8 color negative film.
Siska (b.1984) is a Lebanese visual artist whose practice is often centered on archeology examining sociopolitical narratives in relation to personal and collective pasts. Using an intuitive approach, stretching documentary forms towards fictional territories, he extracts a poetic, almost fairy-tale quality to the narratives he explores.

71. #CORRUPTION_SCHEMES MONIRA AL QADIRI. RUMORS OF AFFLUENCE, 2012,04'
Corruption, like many ethnic traditions and histories, can also have a history, base and a ‘culture’ surrounding it, evolving and mutating over long periods of time. This video is an attempt to illustrate the historical and cultural tradition of corruption and excessive affluence in Kuwait, through the use of rumors as the main subject matter.
Monira Al Qadiri (b. 1983) is a Kuwaiti visual artist born in Senegal and educated in Japan. Her work explores unconventional gender identities, petro-cultures and their possible futures, as well as the legacies of corruption. She is currently based in Berlin.

75. #DISASTER_PORN ALISON NGUYEN. DESSERT-DISASTER,2017-2018, 3’54"
A found footage work which compares the parallel cinematic language of dessert commercials with that of ‘disaster porn’ found in the news and on the Internet. The sound, pulled from pedestrian-produced videos of demolitions, disasters, and storms, expresses the conditions of the contemporary crowd; its insatiable appetite for destruction and arousal; its inattention, its inability to look away; its anxiety and its ecstasy.
Alison Nguyen’s (b.1986) work explores the ways in which images are produced, disseminated, and consumed within the current media landscape, exposing the socio-political conditions from which they arise. Creating strategies for dissent, she re-articulates mainstream visual language and technology in video, installation, and new media works.

81. #WHEN_THE_STATE_IS_THE_ERNEMY REGINA JOSE GALINDO. TIERRA, 2012
The video presented here is a shorter version of Regina José Galindo’s 33 minute-long work Tierra.
In 2012, José Efraín Ríos Montt, the former President of Guatemala, was accused of genocide and crimes against humanity; Regina José Galindo’s video is a haunting reinterpretation of the atrocities recounted during his trial. Tierra begins with the artist standing naked in a verdant field, the tranquility of which is shattered by an earth-moving machine. Here, Galindo alludes to the incident in which innocent citizens were murdered and cold-heartedly buried in a bulldozer-dug mass grave. The stark contrast between the machine’s huge, armored bulk and the artist’s vulnerable body captures the injustice of Montt’s regime, while the abyss that grows around her serves as a poignant symbol of the despair and alienation born of political violence in general, and Montt’s post-conviction acquittal in particular.
Regina José Galindo (b.1974) is a Guatemalan visual artist and poet whose main medium is performance. Her work explores and accuses the ethical implication of social violence and injustices related to gender and racial discrimination as well as human rights abuses arising from the endemic inequalities in power relations of contemporary societies.
