Agenda

Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel’s How Are You? takes us to Roccapina, a paradise in minor key. In this hybrid 3D animated film, a pseudo-intellectual menagerie reflects on the contemporary political landscape on the other side of the Corsican Sea through dry wit and Disney fonts.

Eighty years later, Theo Panagopoulos sheds a bitter light on archival footage. The director builds a dystopian bridge between the harbinger of the Nakba in 1948 and today’s genocide. Where are the plants and the people now? Do they still colour the regions?

ccording to Peggy Ahwesh, there is beauty and ecstasy in decay. With her 16mm blow-up of a pornographic Super 8 film, the American artist seeks sensuality. Rot adds something lustful to the performative sex scenes that paint over the mold and dance to melancholic tango.

Any disrespectful heterosexual man won’t live to tell his tale in Sarah Jacobson's vicious underground film. Her murderous protagonist pounds, chokes, cuts, and shoots her way through the United States to the sounds of Heaven to Betsy, Gas Huffer, and... Charles Manson.

How do you abstract the death of a loved one? What texture do you give it? What colour? Does it remain formless, or can you recognise what remains? After the loss of his father, LUCA alumnus Brecht De Cock sculpted a transmedial response to these impossible questions.
