Dans cette pièce vidéo, paysage d'écriture et de traduction, un poème dans une des langues du marronage, le saramaka, est le lieu de la rencontre : entre des locutrices de saramaka, Odet et Sobriena et l'auteur, entre l'hypothèse d'un texte et sa possibilité. Le poème se précise au fur et à mesure des allers et retours incessants entre Sobriena, sa mère et l'auteur, entre les différents niveaux de langue. Il s'agirait là comme d'une négociation au sens créaeur du terme, quand des mondes qui ne se connaissaient pas avant la rencontre apprennent l'un de l'autre. Ici, c'est ce que la langue coloniale projette qui est remis en chantier, et comment les voix s'accordent et transforment le poème pour qu'il soit et qu'il puisse exister dans les deux ensembles culturels, avec les adaptations nécessaires, parfois les renonciations que cela implique du côté de l'auteur. Ou comment se construit une forme en se déconstruisant. Quand l'autre, essentiel et germinal, transforme avec, à Cayenne, Sobriena Amoïda et, par téléphone, sa mère, Odeth Amoïda, à Kourou. résidence soutenue par la DAC Cayenne et l’Alliance Française de Cayenne.

Frédéric Dumond est plasticien et poète/auteur. II travaille à des textes et des dispositifs textuels dans des médiums multiples : vidéos, installations, performances, dessins, livres, etc. Il mène depuis de nombreuses années une recherche qui a pour objet les langues du monde et leurs liens avec le territoire, dont un projet de collecte dans le vivant du langage en langues autochtones, notamment au Mexique et en Colombie. Il séjourne dans des communautés racines, filme l’environnement, les gestes, les liens entre le milieu et ceux qui y vivent, et recueille des récits en langues amérindiennes qui documentent des cosmovisions, et constituent autant d’archives de langues fragilisées ou en danger. Cet ensemble de matières visuelles et sonores sont à la fois des archives déposées chez les communautés où séjourne l'auteur et se déploient en installations, notamment.

Téléfiction#5 is a fiction and a video essay realized with soap operas. It?s all about using these series as a raw working material, to isolate some fragments that permit to make tip over the selected parts onto another narrative and conceptual level, in order to constitute an absolutely different universe, whilst keeping its origin tracks.

Frederic Dumond is born in 1967. He is writer, plastic artist, and performer. He works narration, the sense of the word as elementary principle of the thinking, on different scales of presence and perception. He structures them in proximity with the theories ?hard? sciences disorder, because the form determination is blurry (in terms of border) ? because dependant on every levels of that moment (scale) of perception. In his most recent texts, he evokes, by successive approaches, the human being and the living. He realizes his videos from images broadcasted on TV, destructuring and restructuring the fictions series that invade the small screen. He creates his video installations with elements embezzled from the real (fragments of working documents of societies or companies and/or capitation of moments of the company life).(II/break). He works his sound pieces from radio broadcasted sound pieces, writing a text with multiple as a puzzle. While a residence in Barcelona, he published texts written in the same time in Catalan language and in French and gives bilingual performances.

Un homme part dans le désert du Sahara rechercher le Géant qui lui a sauvé la vie. Épuisé par sa quête, il s'écroule sur le sable. Il se réveille, masqué, dans une forêt américaine.

Pierre Edouard Dumora explore les mythologies personnelles et le recours à l’imaginaire comme moyen de composer avec le réel. Ses films associent rêves et visions, et mêlent différents lieux, époques et mondes, souvent liés par la voix d'un conteur. Le son est l'élément central de son travail en ce qu'il transforme l'image, révèle l'invisible et ouvre de nouvelles dimensions dans l'espace et le temps. Pierre Edouard Dumora est diplômé du Fresnoy.

Ahmad Ali Badawi is a writer, translator, researcher and self-described ” eternal student ” who lives in Cairo. `Things Stay For A While` (2017) shadows Ahmad, inside his downtown apartment as he researches the evolution of bird wings. In pursuit of more particulars, he treks the streets, passing politically charged murals from the aftermath of the revolution to the city’s Agricultural Museum, which houses an array of taxidermied birds and other winged specimens. As he drifts from one display to the next, a visual analogy for the “ eternal student ”“ meaning, one who has an insatiable desire for knowledge and intrigue”comes to pass: one specimen unexpectedly takes flight.

Bryony Dunne (1984) is an Irish Visual Artist based in Athens. Before relocating to Greece she lived and worked in Cairo for five years. Building on her background in documentary photography and visual anthropology, she explores the intersections between humanity and the natural world often merging documentary and fiction.

4min36 – 2013 In 2007 the archaeologists searching the bottom of the Rhône in the heart of Arles discover a marble bust which they identify as being Caesar. In front of this discovery I started to sculpt my bust in the same material and throw it to the water, At the place the archaeologists get ready to search.

Each new project I begin requires wading through it; questioning the way of making and thinking of one or an other artist. I like this challenge which reminds the counterfeiter who has to plunge into the technique and the vision of a creator. I operate movements through various frames (in the Goffmanien’s sense), in order to play with both, the status of a piece of art, and the status of the artist. The transformation, the damaged of an artistic, craft, archaeological object allows an opening of fields and a movement of the borders between these various spheres. The appropriation of any object or a piece of art goes through a transformation or a transplant: a movement of shape, material or space disturbs its codes of reading

Wilder Westen Österreich gilt heute als Drehscheibe für sogenannte ?white slavery?, den Handel mit Mädchen aus Osteuropa. 2005 veröffentlichte die Wiener Stadtzeitung FALTER Auszüge aus Abhörprotokollen der Polizei, die Telefongespräche zwischen Mädchenhändlern in Wien und deren litauischen Zulieferern und österreichischen Kunden dokumentieren. Diese Polizeiprotokolle nahmen die Künstlerinnen von diekönigin, Claudia Dworschak und Marion Geyer-Grois, zum Anlass für ihre Videoarbeit Wilder Westen. Mit reduziertem Bildmaterial und eingelesenen Textfragmenten wird eine mögliche Szenerie dieses schmutzigen Geschäftes verfremdet dargestellt. Zwischen der scheinbar harmlosen, einladenden Kulisse eines möglichen Tatortes und der Ungeheuerlichkeit des Verbrechens bauen die Künstlerinnen ein Spannungsfeld auf, das mit dem Unsichtbaren, Nicht-Fassbaren operiert.

In 2009/2010 Per Dybvig started to transfer his drawings ? non-linear narratives just like his serial works ? into film with Hunter Hare Dog and Around the House or in the Bar, at least ,2011. The animations makes reference to Georg Pencz`s print work, The Hunter Caught by the Hares (1534-35). Also introducing reference to Norwegian fairy tales, his most recent animation Hare! Introducing the Horse, 2013 - is the third animation in the series revolving around this universe. Hare! Introducing the Horse takes up the comical-abysmal story of the hunter and his dogs ? introducing the horse - , but makes it even more brutal and with an almost feverishness rhythm of events. The narrator is following the events chronologically, interrupted by sequences where the story leaps into free association. This contradictory to the earlier animations, where the story is told without apparent connection to the events .The animation is accompanied by small musical sequences and sounds. The stop-motion-animation is made without corrections and presents an admixture of free forms and finely traced contours, always permeated by the crucial element of language.

LIBIA CASTRO & ÓLAFUR ÓLAFSSON Caregivers Video, color, sound / 14 min. / English and Italian / subtitles English and local language music by Karólína Eiríksdóttir / text by Davide Berretta / music performed by: soprano; Ingibjörg Guðjónsdóttir, oboe; Matthías Nardeau, choir; Women Choir of Garðabær / camera by Libia Castro and Ólafur Ólafsson / editing by: Kristján Loðmfjörð, Libia Castro and Ólafur Ólafsson appearance by: Mihaela Tabaranu, Maria Slobodyan, Paolina Mazzucchi in Ciaghi, Diomira Raffaelli and others. 2008 Intrigued by the dense history of women-labour in the Rovereto area in the North of Italy, Libia Castro and Ólafur Ólafsson (b. 1969/1973) produced the video work Caregivers related to this macro-topic in the frame of Manifesta 7. The video portrays two migrant caregivers from Ukraine and Romania and their (elderly) clients in their relationship and daily work in the area of Rovereto. For the video´s soundtrack the artists commissioned the Icelandic composer Karólína Eiríksdóttir to write a music score to an article, written by the young journalist Davide Berretta, describing this recent and rapidly growing phenomenon. Karólína wrote the music for a soprano, women choir and an oboe. The video combines footage, edited to the soundtrack, shot in and around two homes in Northern Italy with footage documenting the singers and the musician recording the cantata in Iceland - in all juxtaposing journalism, documentary making and classical contemporary music. Supported by the Center for Icelandic Art (CIA.IS), The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture (BKVB), the Centre of Visual Arts Rotterdam (CBK) and Manifesta 7.

PER DYBVIG Hunter Hare Dog 2009/2010 Storyteller: Craig Whitson / Text: Per Dybvig / Technic: Andreas Joner / Duration: 6:51 min Per Dybvig`s (b. 1964) drawings are usually produced spontaneously, with a sense of urgency and almost feverishness that results in a comedic cosmos of bizarre figures and creatures. The majority of the works emerge out of specific situations and in rapid sequence. In 2009/2010, Per Dybvig transposed his drawings into his first film: Hunter Hare Dog. In this film Dybvig takes a step into a universe that revolves against a classic storytelling tradition. The title of the animation, Hunter Hare Dog, refers to Georg Pencz graphic print "The Hunter Caught by the Hares" (1534-35), but we also find clear references to the Norwegian folk tales. Folktales are free ranging and imaginative stories which have passed from storyteller to storyteller from time immemorial. They depict the relationship between people, expressed in fantastic and symbolic terms. The structure of these adventures follows a fixed pattern and the different sequences of the plot have their predetermined positions. The animation Hunter Hare Dog does however not follow the specific set of epic rules that characterize the folk tales. The story is told in fragments, new stories are emerging from the actual story, dialogue is suggested by charts and text bubbles, which we recognize from the world of comics. A narrator is reading a story that gives us clues about what is really going on, but does not necessarily always follow the course of the events. The animation is done in sequences where the drawings are made frame by frame. Dybvig does not correct or edit the frames, no «in between» drawings are added or digitally conducted. The line in movement is erased and new lines are applied to the already existent drawing.

Per Dybvig (b. 1964, Stavanger) lives and works in Stavanger, Norway. Per Dybvig is a renowned graphic artist whose publications and illustrations have won a number of awards. His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions and museums ? among them the Lillehammer Art Museum and the Stenersen Museum, both in Oslo, Norway ? and is represented in several public collections: the National Gallery in Oslo, the Rogaland Museum of Fine Arts in Stavanger and the Arts Council Norway. In 2008 Per Dybvig showed drawings at Priska Juschka Fine Art, New York. In 2010 the artist took part in the Drawing Biennale, Moss; in 2011 he will be presenting new work in a solo-show at Christine König Gallery in Vienna.

In his work ?The door of the law? (2009) we see an intense declaration of love for the American flag, The Stars and Stripes, taking place between two characters. They kiss and neatly caress the American flag in an intimate manner that tends toward the bizarre. The scene has undertones of object fetishism, thus interestingly commenting on the way we often cling to identity markers as expressed in certain cultural symbols, objects and attributes.

Since Morten Dysgaard (* 1976) graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, the cinematographic narrative technique has been his preferred mode of expression, used to investigate how images and signs are instrumental in creating our cultural feelings of identity. Dysgaard has exhibited his work all over the world and is currently working on his first feature.
