The session will be followed by a drink.
Sara Kontar records telephone conversations with her father, left alone in Syria with the ghosts of the past. Eléonore de Montesquiou speaks with Katja, in Narva, a border town between Estonia and Russia. In Marseille, Maïder Fortuné films the Building Canebière, constructed by Fernand Pouillon on the eve of the Algerian war. Conceived as an almost opaque body, the building comes alive with mingled sounds and voices, among them that of James Baldwin. Francisco Rodriguez Teare films friends in a park in Santiago de Chile as they discuss the popular uprising that began in 2019. Enrique Ramirez films the Hall of Honour of the former National Congress, closed during Pinochet’s dictatorship. Chile strives to rid itself of the neoliberal model born of the military dictatorship, in favour of ecology, nature, and social justice, yet change appears impossible. Mahshid Afzali and Mahoor Mirshakkak, departing from an exhibition, propose a reflection on the links between loss, memory, and the lingering echoes of life.

14:00 - 18:00 | Videos on flat screens | "New Worlds"
Philippe-Aubert Gauthier and Tanya St-Pierre start from a collage of decorating magazines from the 70s and 80s, in which a constant tension between natural elements and domesticated interiors is observed. Can Kurucu deploys Bertholt Brecht’s play “Die Maßnahme” (The Decision) in the Minecraft video game. Communist agitators attempt to spark a revolution in China, but are forced to kill one of their number to succeed in their mission. In a montage of Berlin archives of opposition to the GDR, Anna Zett retraces the fears of her childhood. She interweaves the underground music of the late GDR with archival documents of a bygone police state. There are people who, despite violence, fear and anger, insist on the importance of emotional ties and political self-determination. Utkarsh applies restrictions from a CCTV camera manual to images from surveillance cameras. He observes what remains of the image in cases where the camera refuses the instructions, and proposes a reflection on what is looked at, and what we’re not supposed to look at. Lin Htet Aung projects into the landscape the spirit of the soldier who arrives in an abandoned battlefield.
