Festival Rating

This short film shows the emotional force and unmediated physicality of a dancers. I have learned that 'honesty and precision'. in video made me unleash a dramatic energy of a kind. IAs a colorist I play a lot with colors, textures and structure here. The confrontation with the true motives behind these human movements express the imaginative, the more profoundly that allows us to share the artist's experience of the visible. While listening to a tape recording of "Midnight, the Stars and You" a American popular foxtrot song written by Harry M. Woods, Jimmy Campbell and Reg Connelly, emseeibodied this way of seeing "pas de deux".

Director's Biography

Living and working in Paris – painter, visual artist, video maker - performer and photographer, I am interested in “Open Work", as a parallel to Ezra Pound’s note that each artist is always a Troubadour.

Director's Statement

In my approach to visual arts I am combining two different sensibilities. In one hand I am a colorist, filling the void of our perception. On the other hand I explore artistic presentations of philosophical concepts. The dialectics of those two approaches results in never ending process of creation, since, the new technologies, which facilitate "versioning", collaboration and "forking" fit perfectly the concept of Umberto Eco's "open work".

To be more specific - art is communication that “happens” more intensively in collaboration, where the “inbetweener” space is established by two or more artists as a declination of rigged by conflits "Friendship Studies".

My recent work is based on research considering everything that imply authorship, fragmented or composed, thinking as tinkering, "bricolage" or glitch (as a third author) – the late revealing the unintentional functioning of the brain and the human memory as well as bugged software algorithms and hardware.

The language itself, in all its manifestations, took a preponderant place in my visual research. My exploitation of digital technologies is influenced by the possibility of keeping the track of that specific multi layer cooperation, multi level superposition of human and the machine.
