RE-DIT-EN-UN-IN-LEARNING

Laure Prouvost
2020
13 min.

Using her signature fluid camera movements, Laure Prouvost returns with a mediation on the act of (un-)learning, musing on the tension between concepts such as change, interiority and exteriority, physicality and psychology.

​​An increasingly discussed term in left-learning circles is that of “unlearning” – a process by which one deconstructs the pre-fabricated beliefs (generally regarding society and the Other), that they have passively assimilated throughout their lifetimes. Addressing her spectators in the second person, Prouvost creates a visual representation of this process, subverting traditional cinematic language and hinting upon the traumatic ruptures set into motion by the pandemic. Blending the artificial and the natural, object and subject, RE-DIT-EN-UN-IN-LEARNING is an oneiric experience which captures the shifts and doubts that many of us have felt over the course of the past two years.

Laure Prouvost

Laure Prouvost received the prestigious Turner Prize in 2013 and has exhibited internationally at renowned institutions such as Tate Britain, Whitechapel Gallery in London, Portikus in Frankfurt Neuer Berliner Kunstverein and New Museum in New York. Playing with language as a tool for the imagination, Prouvost is interested in confounding linear narratives and expected associations among words, images and meaning. She combines existing and imagined personal memories with artistic and literary references to create complex film installations that muddy the distinction between fiction and reality. In 2019, her project DEEP SEE BLUE SURROUNDING YOU was presented at the French Pavilion during the Venice Biennale 2019.

A LACK OF CLARITY

Stefan Kruse Jørgensen | Durata 22 min.

Using thermal camera footage found online, Stefan Kruse Jørgensen puts together uncanny images of day-to-day Paris while pondering on the history, proliferation and nature of surveillance technologies.

TRAIN AGAIN

Peter Tscherkassky | Durata 20 min.

Constructed as a homage to avant-garde filmmaker Kurt Kren and his masterpiece, “37/78 Tree Again”, “Train Again” sees Peter Tscherkassky delve once more into the depths of cinema history, revealing its inherent brutality.

MISTY PICTURE

Christoph Girardet & Matthias Müller | Durata 16 min.

Before the Twin Towers collapsed on 9/11, their image had turned into a visual leitmotif (or cliché) of films set in New York City throughout the 80s and 90s. In their latest found footage short, Giradet and Müller create a vast collage of such shots across a myriad of genres.
