"Un Semblant de Monde" is an unpublished subroutine that lengths 1 hour and 11 minutes, bringing together 4 episodes amongst the latest directed to this day from the series "Le Dispositif". "Le Dipositif" is a video program of direction, explicitation and conditioning which will consist of a corpus of 52 movies at its completion in 2012, forming a totality of duration of more than 8 hours (50 episodes have been directed to this day). The project of a "reconstituted man" was evoked many times in History : it would be the fact of the divine bicameral voice - represented in turns by the face of the Fox, of the Butterfly and of the Sea Horse - and this one would epiphanize under the form of Bird-Men, distant representatives of a humanity with non-established origins (mazdean Fravartis, Angels, Little Queens...). Recently, the idea men of the New Cities, ignoring Knowledge, confused the unfinished world of the Bird-Men with their reality down here and experimented its sinister consequences. In the contemporary world, a man never appears that by pieces. "Le Dispositif" produces an electric current and a vibratory frequency which suggests re-ordering the scattered multitude of pieces of men to make spring in you The Second Memory.

?Walperloh? shows three young men situated in Estern Germany amongst a pre-fabricated housing development. The historical inscriptions of the landscape connect with the characters.The situation and the relationship between the men refer to a semantic field that refuses concrete attributions. Quiet, sparce takes creat personal closeness without any real determination: a non-space full of undefined melancholy and tenderness. The density of the description creates an open space of association that doesn?t terminate into narration and allows for distance despite ist closeness.

Galerie Anita Beckers - Frankfurt/Main 2007

Us, humans, the one species present in every latitude of the earth have never really settled, from hunters and gatherers to refugees and expats. Throughout human history reasons for exploration vary; trade, fear, ambition, or curiosity. Still nomads, our quest to chart every reachable corner has been fundamental to the dissemination of symbolic structures growing from wealth and power into different forms around the globe. Fata Morgana balances between that primal urge to explore the unknown and the instinctive need to make a home and belong... Pulling or being pulled? Coming, going or returning? The physicality of struggle, disappearance and emergence within this piece becomes a metaphor reflecting on Poetics and Politics, Geography and Geometry, Dreams and Death, as well as memories of Future and Past. With the uncertainty and hope of new beginnings across the ocean, the transient figures glimmer and nearly blend into their surroundings, flirting with symbolisms of ritual: the platonic geometry, immersion/ascension, and their perpetual journey. These travellers move oblivious of any limits but their own, challenging the very notion of borders; which are, anyway, invisible and futile drawings of power onto an ever-shifting landscape defiant of any divisions. Inspired by the artists own attempts of somehow always carrying home with them, the piece is a video loop meditating on the emotional ebb and flow of the many departures and the inevitability of a return. A return home, that whether it be a place, memory, feeling, or a word it is always a reflection of oneself.

SEBASTIAN BETANCUR MONTOYA: A common conceptual thread legible in his artwork is the constant preoccupation for the body[ies] and its relation with[in] the surrounding space and its limits/conditions; the themes of home, language, migration, belonging and uprooting have become unavoidable for someone as him, who has lived on the move, away from his birth place half of his life. Sebastián´s work has been part of exhibitions, publications, art residencies, and art fairs in Colombia, The Bahamas, Qatar, Russia, and Germany and participated in other events such as The 2015 Oslo Architecture Triennial, the 2015 Kuwait pavilion for the Venice Biennale, NYT art for tomorrow 2016, and the 2018 Istanbul design Biennial. ABI GREEN: Born and raised in London, she was educated at Fine Arts College, Chelsea College of Arts and went on to graduate with a BA (Hons) in Photography from Middlesex University London. Abi’s work has been featured on Vogue and Vogue Italia online, Le Book and It’s Nice That. Nominated to exhibit at the D&AD, New Blood Awards, London, in 2009 and Mother London’s, Open Book in 2015, she has also been published both in the UK and the Middle East, including magazines such as Notion, Crack, Elle and Twenty-six. Driven by interests in colour, light art, and sculptural objects, she is often influenced by surrealism, modern and industrial design, which enhances her contemporary visual style. Her projects carefully balance a minimalist approach with a graphic, colourful aesthetic resulting in a distinctive eye-popping quality. A key part of her image-making is the humorous twist that underpins her creative concepts, with this unique approach she hopes to leave her audience with a taste of her playful nature.

A man spreads lime on a field in August, to prepare the earth for the autumn sowing. His action recorded and extracted from the surroundings and realistic conditions, becomes a ritual of a human caressing the land at dusk, reminding us of our relation and dependence to earth. The image obscured and slowed down confronts the viewer with an enigmatic time fragment of a ritual dance.

This is a new inspector Rredick investigation. Nothing is said but all is known. Then, there is just to watch one another, to listen on another and to wait, the lie going on. When the words are gone, once read on faces. People live together, side by side, and that?s it. Sometime, they dream. A man dies, the first word is said. The death language is born

Born in 1972, august 13th, in a region called the Lot, in France. After university formation in cinema, he goes at L?École nationale supérieure Louis Lumière. He achieved his graduation work in 2003: « Temps Atomique » was screened for the first Paris Berlin International cinema festival first edition. Since, he essentially works on soap operas extracted images manipulation. ?Inspecteur Rredick? is his first opus.

Built during British colonial rule in 1930, the Kalurghat Bridge serves as a vital connection between the north and south of the greater Chittagong district of Bangladesh, bisected by the Karnaphuli River. Historically, this bridge facilitated communication between regions in south Chittagong, bridging the gap from British India. From the circle of my family ancestors, many left the southern part of Chittagong from the British period, particularly the partition period, to the Pakistan period and settled in different parts of this subcontinent. Then, during the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971, some people in Bangladesh-India border areas took shelter for some time and worked in various ways for the freedom of the country. From the post-independence period to the present, many people from this southern region migrated to other countries outside the subcontinent for different purposes and reasons, including re-settlement in Chittagong City and Dhaka. These familial and local stories are not linear. Through different layered images on the bridge, the video features a female narrator, embodying the collective familial past. The narrative within the video is a fictionalised merge drawn from different stories and correspondences, further exploring familial history and connection.

Palash Bhattachajee has undergone a shift in his artistic journey, transitioning from academically focused printmaking toward multi-media, experimental art-practice via a close encounter with performance art activism. He takes critical interest in closely reading filmic genres and their performative idioms. The photo/videographic style and the eclectic selection of objects in his works are influenced by the cerebral matrix of contrapuntal, non-narrative aspect of deconstructed storytelling adopted from global cinema. Based and born in Chittagong, Bangladesh, he received his Master’s and Bachelor's degrees from the Department of Fine Arts, Chittagong University. He was awarded the Asia Pacific Fellowship Residency from MMCA Residency Goyang in 2011 and received a grant from Seoksu Art Project of Stone & Water, South Korea, in 2010. His works have been widely exhibited in Bangladesh, including at Chobi Mela 2021, Dhaka Art Summit 2012-2020, Asian Art Biennale 2012-2022, Dhaka, and internationally, including ‘Legacies of Crossings’, Shahnaz Gallery, London, UK 2024; NOmade Biennial, Art Center Gallery Elblag, Poland, 2023; Warehouse421, Abu Dhabi, UAE, 2022; Colomboscope, Colombo, Sri Lanka, 2022; ‘The Oceans and the Interpreters’ and ‘The Deep City’, Hong-Gah Museum, Taiwan, 2020; ‘Seven Exhibitions’ at Exhibit 320, New Delhi, India, 2018; and many more.

A lighthouse on the mountains over Brunate, a beam of light incessantly rotating in the dark, shedding light over something which has remained in the shadows. It illuminates one house.  The house contains members of one family, portrayed in they daily life.  The story revolves around a specific moment in time, when Francesco, the eldest son, spends one year in jail. Around that time each one of the relatives exchanges letters with him. The Tyndall effect is a phenomenon of diffusion of light due to the presence of some particles in the air. It manifests itself, for example, when the car lights are turned on in a foggy day. The same effect is visible from the tower of the lighthouse looking towards the home of the Bianchi’s family.

Fatima Bianchi was born in Milano in 1981, she lives between Milano and Marseille. Her research focuses on the understanding of the individual, on his historical memory, his cultural and natural contest. Her artistic production is expressed through the medium of the video, the documentary and the site installation.

The video is an AI assisted meditation on self-help through extreme sonic manipulation, in a semi-erotic plastic dreamscape of watered down and for profit thanatotherapy, where new age imagery devolves into Cronenberg-esque mutations, in complete contrast with the chaotic and unpredictable sonic experiments which may or may not be useful in your personal quest to embetter your True Self™. The music is highly processed, with just a few audible artifacts left of the original code, drum kit and modular based sources, creating sounds that hopefully escape attempts at AI classification.

Matthew Biederman, b. 1972, Chicago Heights, IL, USA. Matthew Biederman works across media and milieus, architectures and systems, communities and continents since 1990.

Pierce Warnecke is a multidisciplinary digital artist. His work, on the border between experimental music, digital arts and video art, is influenced by the observation of the effects of time on matter: modification, deterioration and disappearance. He frequently collaborates with prominent figures such as Frank Bretschneider, Matthew Biederman, Yair Elazar Glotman and Keith Fullerton Whitman among others. He has presented his work in the form of performances, concerts and installations at MUTEK, ZKM, CTM, Elektra, KW Institut, La Biennale NEMO, Sonic Acts, Martin Gropius Bau, MAC Montreal, Scopitone, LEV Festival, SXSW, FILE, etc. Between 2017 and 2019 he composed several audiovisual pieces for the Institute for Sound and Music’s Hexadome project in Berlin, San Francisco, Montreal and more.

One of the most iconic sequences in the history of Hollywood cinema (from Hitchcock?s North by Northwest) is deconstructed and reassembled to illuminate the patterns, rhythms and choreography of the original so as to break through and make for an eight banded kinetic tour de force. As the piece progresses the temporal displacement of each band gets closer and closer until they all unite into a remarkable grand finale. --John Columbus, Black Maria Film and Video Festival

Gregg Biermann is a video and multimedia artist whose work comes out of the avant-garde filmmaking tradition. His work takes advantage of digital technologies to advance rigorous compositional strategies.

This is a recent piece in my series of computational transformations of iconic scenes taken from classic Hollywood films. Forty-one separate shots that have been appropriated and excised from the Hitchcock classic Vertigo are repeated and re-sequenced into a composite sequence of concentric rectangles. Each rectangle appears over the last and grows larger over time. The narrative of the original is all but lost and in its place is a hypnotic and meditative display of forms and sounds.

Gregg Biermann?s work is in the collection of FRAC Limousin has been exhibited internationally at Nam Jun Paik Art Center, Seoul, Korea; Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Strasbourg; Festival Images Contre Nature, Marseille; Film Festival of Experimental and Different Cinemas of Paris; Rencontres Internationales, Paris; Electrochoc Festival, Rhones-Alpes; Centre Images, Vendôme, France; Osterreiches Filmmuseum, Vienna, Austria; European Media Art Festival, Osnabruek, Hamburg Film Festival, Germany; The Caracas Contemporary Art Museum; The National Cinematheque, Venezuela; Media Art Friesland, IMPAKT Panorama, Noordelijk Film Festival, The Netherlands; Optica International Festival of Video Art, Gijon, Spain;VIDEOEX, Zurich, Switzerland and INVIDEO, Milan, and Abstracta, Rome, Italy. His work has also been exhibited in the USA at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts/San Francisco Cinematheque; Baltimore Museum of Art; Corcoran Gallery; Hunter Museum of American Art; National Gallery of Art; Cleveland Institute of Art; Anthology Film Archives; U.C. Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive; Centraltrak Gallery, Univ. of Texas at Dallas; Weisman Art Museum, Univ, of Minnesota; California Institute of the Arts; Los Angeles Filmforum/Echo Park Film Center; ArtPace San Antonio; Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center; Visual Arts Center of New Jersey and the Jersey City Museum.

In "The Hills Are Alive", an iconic scene from the beloved Hollywood musical "The Sound of Music" is transformed through a contrapuntal progression of split screen effects. The resulting mosaic reveals haunting melodies and reverberating dissonance.

Un mouvement de caméra comme un balancement de tête, de gauche à droite. Si bien qu’il y a toujours ce qui sort et ce qui entre dans le champ. Dans ce trajet, l’œil caméra croise un papier, du papier peint, et plus loin encore, un miroir dans lequel se reflètent papier-peint et papier.

« Maintenant, je suis partout » « Maintenant, je te suis partout ». Des paupières qui s’ouvrent et se ferment en battant le rythme d’une rencontre amoureuse. Des captations de téléphone portable qui enlèvent au réel le sentiment du vécu. "Battre, enlever" est un compte-rendu vraisemblable de faits qui n’ont pas eu lieu ou qui ont eu lieu autrement, le récit d’un amour qui bride et élève à la fois.

Manuel Billi est écrivain, scénariste et producteur. Co-fondateur du collectif d'artistes Le Gauche, il a réalisé plusieurs courts-métrages à partir de captations de téléphone portable. Depuis 2013, il travaille avec Christian Merlhiot sur le scénario d'un long-métrage de fiction.

A day in a life of a family. A story of hands : hands that act, hands that assist, hands that dance till the end of the day.

Manuel Billi lives and works in Paris. Film critic and director, he has authored several essays on contemporary cinema. Since the year 2000, he has been collaborating with different Italian and French film magazines. In 2014 he directs his first experimental short film, Battre, enlever.

Un panorama extrêmement lent sur des arbres sombres, contre un ciel au crépuscule. Tourné avec deux images par seconde, les mouvements des arbres semblent davantage être une photographie animée. Dans un silence complet, les arbres sont secoués par un vent fort, qui remue les couches et les textures de la forêt alors que, presque imperceptiblement, la caméra fait un panoramique de droite à gauche. C?est seulement lorsque la forêt s?éloigne que l?on prend conscience du mouvement de l?image, à la fois lentement et soudainement, juste comme la nuit qui prend la relève du jour et le calme qui succède à l?agitation. SWEEP possède certaines des qualités spatiales et temporelles habituellement associées à la peinture de paysage, de Ruysdael, Claude ou Poussin, Turner ou Constable, et manifeste du sentiment intense de l?environnement et de la nature de Richard Billigham. Il effectue une réappropriation contemporaine du paysage, dans ce mouvement de forêt lors d?une tempête. SWEEP a été projeté au festival de Locarno, et présenté au New Forest Pavilion à la biennale de Venise cette année

Richard Billingham est né en 1970. Il grandit dans une zone industrielle de Birmingham, alors très touchée par la crise économique. Il suit des cours à la fondation d?art de la ville et à l?université de Sunderland. Il prend des photographies de sa famille, et de son environnement immédiat. Ce travail photographique, intitulé « Who`s looking at the family », a été présenté à la Barbican Gallery, et dans de nombreuses expositions consacrées à l?art anglais. Billingham réalise aussi des vidéos, la plus connue est FISHTANK, qui reprend les mêmes éléments tirés de son environnement immédiat, et présente sa famille. FISHTANK est de type documentaire, mais avec des spécificités propres à un travail de plasticien, notamment l?utilisation que Billigham fait des très gros plans pour étudier le mouvement. Présenté en 1997 à la Anthony Reynolds Gallery, à Londres, il gagne en 1997 le prix de la Citybank, et est présent à Londres, Berlin, New York dans l?exposition de la collection Saatchi consacrée aux jeunes artistes britanniques. Il est nominé en 2001 pour le Turner Prize, avec sa vidéo RAY IN BED. Richard Billingham réalise actuellement des photographies de paysages non habités : terrains semi ruraux en déréliction, à l?arrière de murs de briques rouges, aire de jeux désertées dans les banlieues entre des blocs d?habitats sociaux, mais aussi des paysages infinis en pleine campagne, aux ciels orageux.

"God... took one of his "pleura" (rib or side), edified it to make a woman and brought it to adam..." Androgynous and cannibal utopia, "Pleura" declines in the union and the break-up of the lovers. Diptych : 1. In the glass elevator, nowhere in the middle of the outside, going up above an inaccessible garden, a man and a woman are muted with shameful thoughts. 3. They penetrate a seeping forest, it is after the fall, they're covered with mud or painted for a cannibal ritual. Androgynous deflowering, they dance between the branches, they chew a reptilian phallus...

Juliette Bineau was born in 1974. She studied at the Beaux-Arts of Rennes, then with the author - director Didier George Gabily. She's an actress, a performer in noise music bands, a cineast (Gertrud 2009, La Tête 2010, Robocop memory Room 2011). She meets the dancer Cécilia Bengoléa in 2005, during the creation of the music piece of the duo Chaignaud-Begoléa Pâquerette that she accompanies on the (tribal) drums in her band Minitel.

"Dieu? prit un de ses "pleura" (côte ou côté), l`édifia pour en faire une femme et l`amena à Adam?". Utopie androgyne et cannibale, Pleura décline en l`union et la séparation des amants. Dans l`ascenseur de verre, nulle part au milieu du dehors, s`élevant au dessus d`un jardin inaccessible, un homme et une femme sont tues de pensées inavouables.

In Canon: Taking to the Streets, Birnbaum breaks with traditional documentary format. Using tools from the low-end and high-end of technology, she episodically views recent events of student activism in the United States. This is a study of the 1987 Take Back the Night march on the Princeton University campus. Birnbaum's treatment of the original student-recorded VHS footage reveals this march as having the potential to develop political awareness through personalized experience. The students attempt to "put across a historical message" that was started in San Francisco in 1978: the protest of any form of violence against women. Take Back the Night now represents men and women, in solidarity with one another, marching against sexual violence of any kind. Here the activity remains specific to violence as perpetrated against persons in the Princeton community.

For four decades, Dara Birnbaum's pioneering works in video, media and installation have questioned the ideological and aesthetic character of mass media imagery, and are considered fundamental to our understanding of the history of media practices and contemporary art. Dara Birnbaum was born in New York City in 1946 where she continues to live and work. Dara Birnbaum received a B.A. in architecture from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, a B.F.A. in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute, and a certificate in video and electronic editing from the Video Study Center at the New School for Social Research in New York. Dara Birnbaum was one of the first artists to develop complex and innovative installations that juxtapose images from multiple sources while incorporating three-dimensional elements - large-scale photographs, sculptural or architectural elements - into the work. She is known for her innovative strategies and use of manipulated television footage. Birnbaum's work has been exhibited widely at MoMA PS1, New York (2019); National Portrait Gallery, London (2018); Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio (2018); South London Gallery, UK (2011); major retrospectives at Serralves Foundation, Porto, Portugal (2010) and S. M.A.K. Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Ghent, Belgium (2009); Center for Contemporary Art, CCA Kitakyushu (2009); Museum of Modern Art, New York (2008); Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna, Austria (2006); and The Jewish Museum, New York (2003). His work has been exhibited at Documenta 7, 8 and 9. Birnbaum has won several prestigious awards including: John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (2021); The Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center Arts Residency (2011); the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2011); and the prestigious United States Artists Fellowship (2010). In 2016, she was recognized and honored for her work by The Kitchen, New York, at their annual gala. She was the first woman in video to receive the prestigious Maya Deren Award from the American Film Institute in 1987. In February 2017, Carnegie Mellon University's School of Art established the Birnbaum Award in her honour.
