Clément Cogitore
sans titre
Vidéo | hdv | | 24:0 | France | 2014
Traversant tour à tour forêts, ruines baroques, tours de contrôle et catacombes romaines, “Sans titre” traite d’une communauté scientifique sur les traces d’un animal magique. Entre récit fantastique et rituel initiatique, cette vidéo mêle fresques paléochrétiennes et tablettes numériques, écrans de contrôle et chant des Sibilles. Dans une confrontation entre monde souterrain et aérien, archaïsme et nouvelles technologies, “Sans titre” interroge l’immuabilité du sens du récit et de l’image face à l’évolution des croyances.
Après des études à l’Ecole supérieure des arts décoratifs de Strasbourg, et au Fresnoy-Studio national des arts contemporains Clément Cogitore développe une pratique à mi-chemin entre cinéma et art contemporain. Mêlant films, vidéos, installations et photographies son travail questionne les modalités de cohabitations des hommes avec leurs images. Il y est le plus souvent question de rituels, de mémoire collective, de figuration du sacré ainsi que d’une certaine idée de la perméabilité des mondes. Ses films ont été sélectionnés dans de nombreux festivals internationaux (Cannes, Locarno, Lisbonne, Montréal…) et ont été récompensés à plusieurs reprises. Son travail a également été projeté et exposé dans de nombreux musées et centre d’arts (Palais de Tokyo, Centre Georges Pompidou – Paris, Eyebeam center New-York, Museum of fine arts – Boston…). Clément Cogitore a été récompensé en 2011 par le Grand prix du Salon de Montrouge, puis nommé pour l’année 2012 pensionnaire de l’Académie de France à Rome-Villa Médicis. En 2015 son premier long-métrage « Ni le ciel, Ni la terre » a été récompensé par le Prix de la Fondation Gan au Festival de Cannes – Semaine de la critique, et salué par la critique internationale. Né en 1983 à Colmar, Clément Cogitore vit et travaille entre Paris et Strasbourg.

Doc. expérimental | dv | couleur | 9:0 | France | 2010
« Fin 2008 a débuté en Autriche une vente singulière : l?armée à mis aux enchères 146 miradors installés à la frontière de la Hongrie et de la Slovaquie. En 1989, après la chute du rideau de fer l?Autriche avait installé ces miradors pour lutter contre l?immigration clandestine au cours d?une opération militaire baptisée « opération limes », en souvenir du limes romain (nom donné aux fortifications qui protégeaient l?empire des barbares), Avec l?entrée de la Hongrie et de la Slovaquie fin 2007 dans l?espace Schengen ces miradors étaient devenus obsolètes. Je suis parti sur l?ancienne frontière de l?Europe filmer ces vestiges, leurs nouveaux propriétaires et leur nouvel usage. Aux portes de l?empire il sera question de forteresse, de paysage, de métamorphose et de cette capacité qu?a le pouvoir politique, social, militaire à transformer l?être humain en gibier dès lors qu?il sent ou suppose ses frontières menacées. » Clément Cogitore, février 2010

Moriviví
Documentaire | hdv | couleur | 37:40 | Colombie, 0 | 2018
Synopsis, « Morivivà» Documentary 36:40 Min, 2017. An immersive film plunging us somewhere between reality and a certain expressionist estrangement in its disheveled portrait of a family. Morivivàreflects a social reality for some rural areas of Cuba, in which poverty, fear, violence, possession and even santerÃa and superstitions take center stage in a day-to-day life that is lived on the edge. Brayan and Kiki are the third and fourth generations of their Cuban household. Situations of violence are the daily bread. Sometimes they have to take the role of the adults to avoid problems between real adults. In the middle of the countryside where the children live, they entertain a close relationship with nature. They breed animals that serve not only as food or pets, but also for the Santeria rituals they practice regularly.
Biography David Enrique Aguilera Cogollo Born in Barranquilla Colombia in 1991. Before making films, David studied Sociology in the human sciences school of the Rosary University in BogotaÌ, Colombia. Then he studied at the National School of Film of BogotaÌ. As soon as he finished his career, David began a master degree in alternative cinema at the International School of Film and TV of San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba. David crosses the boundaries of documentary and fiction in his work. MoriviviÌ was filmed in Cuba as a final project

Long for the City
Doc. expérimental | dv | noir et blanc | 9:10 | USA | 2008
Long for the City is a short portrait of Patti Smith in the city where she lives. Patti recites the very first poem-song she ever wrote, and then a later one, "Prayer", from the early 1970s. We take a walk in her changing neighborhood, and I ask her what she saw. Footage was shot in the moment, as well as drawn from the archive I`ve gathered over many years. Long for the City can be considered a non-musical companion piece to the music short, Spirit, which we collablorated on in 2007. It had its premier as an installation in Patti Smith`s show, Land 250, and Fondation Cartier in Paris.
Jem Cohen is a New York-based filmmaker/media artist whose works are built from his own ongoing archive of street footage, portraits, and sound.

Benjamin Smoke, co-directed with Peter Sillen, was selected for festivals including Berlin, Edinburgh, Melbourne, London, and Vancouver.

Steven Cohen
Maid in South Africa
Film expérimental | dv | couleur | 12:0 | Afrique du sud, France | 2005
« Avec un réel engagement politique, Steven Cohen s?interroge sur le corps et son exploitation (faisant référence à la prostitution, le travail manuel éreintant, les rapports entre les différentes communautés?) et rend ainsi hommage à sa nourrice sud-africaine âgée de 84 ans, qui demeure depuis son enfance l?employée de maison au sein de sa famille ». (Extrait du programme Les Subsistances, Lyon, janvier 2005)
Steven Cohen est un artiste atypique né à Johannesburg dont l??uvre aborde de manière provocante les questions d?identité. Surtout connu pour ses performances, il apparaît sur scène ou dans des galeries, mais s?invite éalement dans des lieux publics. En tant que juif homosexuel, il traite de l?altérité et de l?identité de l?étranger en utilisant son propre corps et celui des autres pour créer de l?art vivant, sous la forme de sculpture, de danse contemporaine, de travestissement et de performance. Ces personnages glamour et monstrueux s?élèvent" du Lake Subconscious " pour confronter la société à ses composantes qu?elle a marginalisées et censurées tout au long de l?histoire. Ses performances ardues et souvent controversées explorent l?impuissance et la honte tout en célébrant l?hybridité complexe de l?identité.

I Told You That Might Happen
Vidéo | hdv | couleur | 18:0 | Canada | 2013
That’s Why We End depicts a dialogue in three parts between a therapist figure and a client. While the character of the therapist appears on screen, Cohene again invites the viewer to assume the position of the client by providing us only with his voice. In this work, the composite of the therapist is assembled almost entirely from films referenced in Gilles Deleuze’s classic texts Cinema 1 and Cinema 2, whereas the client’s narrative is built from recordings of associative exercises the artist undertook with theorist and artist Eric Cazdyn.
Vancouver-born artist Aleesa Cohene (º1976) has been producing videos since 2001. Her work has shown in festivals and galleries across Canada as well as in Brazil, Cambodia, Germany, Netherlands, Russia, Scandinavia, Turkey, and the United States.

Evil.6: Faking
Vidéo expérimentale | dv | couleur | 8:0 | USA | 2006
"Evil.6" met en animation un montage d´extraits du discours "State of The Union" de George W. Bush. Ce texte est digne d´intérêt car Bush y insiste sur les raisons de la nécessité d´une guerre contre le régime de Saddam Hussein. Par la suite, les affirmations de Bush à propos des "Armes de destruction massive" iraquiennes et des connexions entre le régime iraquien et Al-Qaida ont été considérées comme très incertaines. Le texte est juxtaposé avec des images vidéo et des sons tirés de "Intelligence Failures", une oeuvre réalisée par un ami de l'auteur, Benj Gerdes, qui n´isole que les pauses entre les phrases du même discours, télévisé.
Tony Cokes est un post conceptualiste qui met en avant la critique sociale. Ses oeuvres son, vidéo et ses installations recontextualisent des matériaux qui ont été appropriés pour obtenir une réflexion critique sur notre production en tant que sujets du monde capitaliste. Les vidéos et installations multimédia de Cokes (qui sont parfois le fruit de méthodes de travail collaboratif) ont été présentées dans des expositions au Musée d´Art Moderne; MACBA, Barcelone, Espagne; Le Musée Whitney d´Art Américain; Documenta X, Kassel, Allemagne: Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France, Société pour l´Art Actuel, Brême, Allemagne; et au Musée Guggenheim Solomon R. Ses nombreuses projections lors de festivals comprennent le Festival International du Film de San Francisco, l`Institut Américain du Film, Le Festival du Court d´Oberhausen, Le Festival International du Film de Rotterdam, Et les Rencontres Internationales Paris-Berlin.

Evil.15.1: On Teflon
Vidéo expérimentale | dv | couleur | 5:55 | USA | 2007
Evil.15: On Teflon Pt.1... 6:00 (2007). Le premier d'une série d'études sur "politique de l'effet". Dans cette première partie, un article connu du New York Times Magazine est redéployé pour encadrer le "hubris" et la rhétorique, les deux basé sur la foi, de l'administration américaine avant les élections de 2004. La bande originale commence par un morceau des Magnetic Fields "I Don't Believe You" pour donner un thème sous-jacent lyrique entraînant mais aussi tranchant. Il se termine par un assombrissement de la musique et une courte version instrumentale électronique par le group bavarois Lali Puna.
Tony cokes est un post-conceptualiste dont les pratiques mettent la critique sociale en avant plan. Ses vidéos, installations, et travaux sonores remettent en contexte des matériaux appropriés pour décisivement refléter notre production comme sujet du capitalisme. La vidéo de Cokes et ses travaux d'installations multimédias (qui parfois embrasse des méthodes de travail collectives) ont été montré dans des exposition à: The Museum of Modern Art, MACBA, Barcelona, Spain, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France, Gesellschaft für Aktuelle Kunst, Bremen, Germany, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Ses nombreuses apparitions dans des festivals incluent: The San Francisco International Film Festival, Oberhausen Short Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Seoul Film & Net Festival, et les Rencontres Internationales Paris-Berlin-Madrid. Cokes enseigne dans le département de culture moderne et médias à la Brown University, Providence, RI.

Evil.66.2
Vidéo | hdv | couleur | 8:4 | USA | 2016
Evil.66.2 The second video in a new trilogy within my larger "Evil”Series featuring selected quotes from the books of a well-known U.S. presidential candidate on a variety of subjects: from his rhetorical tactics, to his political opponents, to his views on borders, immigration, and other issues. Is all this a common tale of seduction and manipulation (or is it the self-deception of his supporters)?
Tony Cokes makes video and installation projects that reframe appropriated texts. The media works reflect upon capitalism, subjectivity, knowledge and pleasure. Sound always functions in his practice as a crucial, intertextual element, complicating minimal visuals. His works have been exhibited internationally at venues including Centre Georges Pompidou, Whitney Museum, Museum of Modern Art (NYC), SF MOMA, ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany, and La Cinémathéque Française. Cokes has received fellowships from The Guggenheim Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and Getty Research Institute. He resides in Providence, RI where he is a Professor in the Department of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University.

leeds.talk.trailer
Vidéo expérimentale | dv | couleur | 4:0 | USA | 2008
« Leeds.talk.04 », texte en vidéo d?animation, est une série d?anecdotes piquantes sur les relations épineuses entre la critique d?art et la création artistique au Royaume-Uni et aux USA pendant les années 1960 et 1970. La vidéo se base sur un article de « Leeds Talk » rédigé par Andrew Perchuk, l?historien de l?art de Los Angeles. Ses personnages comprennent des figures célèbres comme Clement Greenberg, Michael Fried, Charles Harrison, Rosalind Krauss, Artforum, October, avec d?importants caméos de Morris Louis, Lynda Benglis, et du sculpteur décédé David Smith, parmi d?autres. Le texte de Perchuk est mis en forme comme une succession de mots blancs isolés sur fond noir (comme un écho tordu à Michael Snow, peut-être). La techno de la bande sonore fonctionne comme un contrepoint fortement rythmique à cette animation graphique très simple.
Tony Cokes est un artiste post-conceptualiste dont les réalisations mettent au premier plan la critique sociale.

Destiny Manifesto
Animation | 16mm | couleur | 8:0 | USA | 2006
A paint-on-glass and collage animation, `Destiny Manifesto` fuses paintings of the American western frontier and contemporary images of the conflict in the Middle East into a work that explores the visual and psychological parallels between the representation of these two periods. An indictment of America`s dangerous foreign-policy naivety, this film is a play between fact, fiction, politics, fantasy, terror and morality. Using colorful cutout animation this film features Osama Bin Laden (as several characters from the Wizard of Oz) and Dorothy in a battle of dark forces and faces of Evil.
Born in Pennsylvania (1971), Martha Colburn is an artist filmmaker based in New York. A self-taught filmmaker, she began in 1994 with found footage and Super 8 cameras and has since completed over 40 films. She shows her work in the art world and the film festival world.

Triumph of the Wild
Animation | 16mm | couleur | 10:46 | USA | 2009
Triumph of the Wild spans decades of battles in American history and places man in a landscape infested with indigenous predatory animals. Historical battles are conjured in luridly colorful ?sentimental landscapes?. Triumph of the Wild is divided chromatically with the progressing historical eras. The different wars are divided chromatically, based on colors found to predominately represent them in paintings , films and books. The use of the puzzles in the film took root in reading about Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and meeting people who grapple with it, from Afghanistan and Iraq. Reality changes before their very eyes?like the curtain rising, their reality shifts between present and past, it goes up and behind it; nightmares. Characters and scenes evolve from animal to human, from hunted to hunter, from war zone to wilderness, and from the horrific to the idealistic. Thollem Mc Donas is an highly recognized pianist and composer based in California. The soundtrack of this two-part film is two piano compositions which are partially improvised. In the film I am breaking down the piano performance into seconds/beats/textures etc.. to study them and think of the piano as the heartbeat of the film. I think of the notes as a molecules sometimes; or the soundtrack to represent the build up or breaking down of forms, or people or narratives. The film is made on 16mm film and was realized using a three-layer glass animation technique.

I May Doze for Millions of Years
Vidéo | 4k | couleur | 13:54 | Taiwan, Mexique | 2021
A group of people from different backgrounds fall into a doze at a fairly masculine old Mexican bar: security guards transporting a naked man, a boy giving secret signals, women carrying long-barreled guns, and rocks. The lines narrated by the performer are taken from the notes of a serial killer, political materials, and the dying words of Takijiro Onishi, originator of the kamikaze tactics.
Director and visual artist Val Lee founded Ghost Mountain Ghost Shovel(GMGS) with Hikky Chen in 2008. GMGS is active in visual and performing arts. GMGS uses ephemeral situations to lead the audience into a form of live art that comprises action scripts, installations, sound, hypnotic rhetoric, composite structures, and mise-en-scène. The collective has collaborated with non-performers to construct political fables with a dream-like method. GMGS’s works have been exhibited at the Vernacular Institute, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Forum des Images, Grand Palais, the Danish feminist initiative ARIEL, Taiwan Contemporary Cultural Lab, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, and Hong-Gah Museum; and joined the Taipei Arts Festival, the Gwangju Biennale, the Taiwan Biennial, the Urban Nomad Film Fest, and Month of Performance Art in Berlin.GMGS has been sponsored by the Hong Foundation (2021), the Liveworks Festival Lab artist residency program (2020), the Asian Cultural Council New York Fellowship (2019), Taishin Visual Arts Award (2017), and the National Culture and Arts Foundation.

Hello Brother
Vidéo expérimentale | hdv | couleur | 3:49 | Taiwan | 2018
The unknown village exists when the residents blink. The scenery of nothing. The identity of no one. The relationship of the dream two. The breeze travels through the subtropics of the tropics. A museum of no-name rocks. Hypnotic symbolic acts. Some weight in the pocket. Magnetic boy, the fog, the breeze doesn`t walk.
Val Lee has been the director of Ghost Mountain Ghost Shovel Art Collective (2009-Now) and creates live art works that builds constructed ephemeral situations where the audience enters a poetic constellation of action script, installation, sound, hypnotic rhetoric, composite structure, mise-en-scène, and space. Their works currently focus on urban violence, political turmoil, body memories of the unusual state, and the diversified modes of psychological absorption and participation for public audiences. Through the continuous collaborations of friends from visual arts, performing arts, experimental music and activism, their interdisciplinary yet site-responsive works form some dialogue and resistance in a dream. "Hello Brother" is their only video.
