HEURE EXQUISE!

Les barbares/The Barabarians
5:00
2010
If politics were to come back, it could only be from its savage and disreputable fringe. Then, a muffled rumor shall arise whence that roar is heard: "We are scum! We are barbarian!" (Alain Brossat)
Véronique Sapin (fra)
Je tourne mon visage vers vous
5:25
2014
My name is Human Being. I have the right to choose everything in my life; just like you; because it's only natural. ISN' T IT ? That's why I am turning my face towards you with complete confidence.
Véronique Sapin chose to speak about one of these acts which drive humanity to regress towards the animal: the acid attack. 1,500 cases are recorded around the world every year. However that is likely to be massively underreported. Most victims are fearful to report it to the police for fear of reprisal. The acid attacks are increasing.

Manipulations
6:50
2014
Manipulations (2004) deals with visual comparison in the form of a subtle insertion, as fleeting as a shot (its appearance and duration) as it is monumental as a motif (its symbolic content). In close up, a man's hands hold a Rubik cube, and instead of becoming organized in green blue, red and yellow areas, this cube becomes totally black, all of a sudden an image of the Kaaba, around which mills the huge throng of pilgrims, slips in between shots. The hands become covered with a black substance which seems to liquefy the cube (name of the "Rubik" and French translation of "kaaba"), the hands become gloved in this opaque blackness, the substance even soils the walls, like fuel oil smothering birds on beaches, and bogging the Gulf states down in their politics.

France, summer1944. At the end of the war, french people shaved the hairs of women supposed to have affair with Germans.
Pascal Lièvre 200 (fra/can)
L’axe du mal
5:50
2003
A text by George W.Bush quoted in the newspaper "Le Monde", dated January 31 2002,
" An axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world" is sung to the music of the song "and when the rain begins to fall" originally performed by Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora.
Nathalie Bujold and Pascal Lièvre are the interpreters of this video which draws its inspiration from video-clip art and expresses the improbable crossover between this theo-geo-political text with the language of love.
The two actors are filmed in front of the Niagara Falls, a highly symbolical place for honeymoons, and they declare their love using the very words of Mr. Bush declaring war on terrorism.

FENIA KOTSOPOULOU (gre)
Dis)remembering
2:13
2014
An autobiographical video linked to the problematic but still intimate relationship with my father and the memories encompassed with it; the need to preserve them lead to the creation of an archive that became the cornerstone of the project and was seen as a material and metaphorical mechanism speaking about power, and about maintaining power, about the power of the present to control what is, and will be, known about the past, about the power of remembering over forgetting. It could be considered: an exploration of other ways of experiencing the present, and thus of viewing the past; a sort of autobiography where words aren't necessary; a sort of diary where my body becomes the messenger of thoughts and feelings; where Real and Imaginary are blended a sort of conglomerated visual traces of a confrontation with my past; a bunch of pixels becoming a digital letter with only receiver: my father Blog of project: feniak.wix.com/disremembering Fenia Kotsopoulou born in Athens, Greece in 1981.

Signs at the border caught only by a careful look waiting. Footprints left by silent, emerge on the surface of the body to form an image map; an echo of past emotional. Weaving gesture reveals the physical permeability and seeks suspended traces that cloaks the daily life.
Imperceptible sedimented noise.

Under Blue
6:38
2015
Under Blue explores gender politics through beauty, pleasure, disgust, danger, violence, the erotic and the artificial, imparting an uneasy feeling of voyeuristic power to the viewer.
Under Blue broadly speaking fits into the performance and body art trend in video art, but its exclusive use of close ups and the effect of not really understanding what we’re looking at. In the work, the fragmented body, color and textures appear between real and surreal, our attention to those colors and textures is greatly rewarded, even as we understand the context even less.

Welter / Wallow
3:50
2016
Welter/Wallow"" explores a fascination with the relationships between private and public, reality and fiction, and the dynamic interplay between the individual and structures or masses. This work investigates the distortions of language and logic, by looking at ways in which technology can influence perception. Taking the figure as subject, it is put through a process in which its features are distorted, suppressed, or intensified in the service of expressing something beneath or behind the observable surface. That is, something that is best implied in the slippage between the recognizable and what is unexplained or mysterious.
Frank McCauley was born in Jacksonville, FL in 1980. Upon receiving his BFA in painting from Winthrop University in 2003, he moved north to Syracuse, NY where he attended Syracuse University and received his MFA in 2008. Frank has been the Director and Curator for Spark Contemporary Art Space in Syracuse, NY, the Assistant Director and Chief Curator for the Sumter County Gallery of Art, and is currently the Assistant Curator and Exhibitions Coordinator for VisArts in Rockville, MD. As an artist he has been in numerous group exhibitions both nationally and internationally and has had solo exhibitions in CA, NY, SC as well as South America."

Positions
8:22
2016
The work Positions shows uniformed, armed women in a pose of defense against the background of a sunny skyline. The camera brings the viewers very close to the protagonists and allows them to watch the situation securely. The viewer lingers in this state -‐ at times in sight of the women, at times
among them. The real action is dislocated outside the visible region, so that one can only guess what
happens in the protagonists’ reld of vision.
Positions is a study of the posture, the role assignments and their fulrllment. Thereby the work does not aim so much at a statement about self-‐defense against a particular person or group of people, but rather at a resistance to structures, systems or normative gender concepts; an ongoing struggle and celebration of an aesthetic of contradictions.
Kristina Paustian, born 1985 in Omsk in Russia, currently lives and works in Berlin. 2003 she moved to Germany to study at the University of the Arts in Berlin. She worked as DoP and editor for several video artists before starting out as an artist herself. Today Paustian's artistic practice covers video,
rlm and installation. Her works are part of international media art festivals & exhibitions.)
