Pauline Moussours, Cette histoire existe (EN. This Story Exists), HD Video, 2023, 18 mins

Halfway through a summer I’m alone in Quiraing, a vast plateau surrounded by cliffs in the northern part of the Skye Island. The wind dives into my skin. I gaze at the shore, and I hear something echoing in the far distance. A voice, almost a song.

Is it a pop-cultural forest fairy performing ritual ablutions on the banks of her small pond with a dog and a plastic flamingo? Or is she an archaic goddess with a radiant crown who was thrown out of a time machine into a garbage dump?

Wout Biesmans, The One Close to the Sea, HD Video, 2023, 8 mins

Camille Pueyo, Disparition(s), dig. Super 8, 2022, 3 mins

Disparition(s) mixes reflections on the gender violence suffered by the director with their reflections on the imminent disappearance of the island of their childhood. Patriarchal capitalism pushes both of them to withdraw from the world, to find shelter far from their assailants. But for one as for the other, is there anything else to consider than disappearance?

Claudia Claremi, Hailstone, HD Video, 2021, 3 mins

Elena Knox, Ovation, HD Video, 2013, 6 mins

Two gameshow hostesses communicate through their allotted medium: applause. The abstract O could represent infinity, zen, null, surprise, completion, emptiness, birth, death, even sexual climax.
