Some people have no problem saying, « I love you.” It just comes out perfectly natural for them. Others struggle to get the words out, even just once, to the person they love. But whether it comes easy to you or not, the important thing to understand is that love is action.So, what does the phrase “love is action” really mean? How are you supposed to show someone that you love them?

Reveal discusses the correspondence between the images of internal consciousness and external images. Such correspondence is derived from religious experiences and exploration of collective subconsciousness. I discourse on vision as a way of existence. I consider it is not a representation of mystic experience, but more of turning off the light originally lit in a room and opening the window – for the light outside to shine through.

Choreographic project
« 1’59 – Let’s make it honey! » 50 mini-creations, based on an idea by Eun Me Ahn, Korean Cultural Centre, 4 November 2022, Paris.
Starting from the idea that artistic creation, whether individual or collective, is a powerful vector of self-expression, the Korean choreographer Eun Me Ahn asserts that everyone can claim this space of expression and life, whether professionally or not. However, in order to reach its conclusion, creation needs to be addressed to an audience. It is an encounter, sometimes a gift, not always easy to welcome. Nevertheless, this moment is undoubtedly the most important moment of exchange in a lifetime, both the most difficult and the most jubilant. This project by playlet is a reflection on the state of contemporary societies.

« Eating and killing and marrying » is a short film created using mechanical rotation elements and props from the artists personal family photographic archives as well as objects found washed ashore on Tinos island beaches were the artists reside. These items are set in apparent perpetual motion, they represent what would be humanity’s future historical artefacts. The film raises the issue on what we choose to personally or collectively try to historically archive in comparison to what will actually be left behind as proof of our times and culture, some plastics have the same life span as objects made of rock, photography and digital data are perishable in the long term and history unavoidably tends to make generalized conclusions on generations past. The film studies our idea of the present towards future reference and subtitles it with Hypercomfs original poetry.

The series « Historical examples » casts objects and materials in animated roles acting out dramatic, violent narratives inspired by historically reoccurring patterns of violent human social interactions. The object protagonists are discarded shoes chosen for their power to allude to the wandering body and their styles to cultural phenomena. The action is overtly staged and flows at a discomforting pace. The director of this objects is always implied setting the action and choosing to frame it in the eerie advertising qualities that are informing the singular social brain.

In a dystopian near-future, an anonymous youtuber makes an unboxing. The parcels and letters that reach her retrace, one by one, the era in which she evolves. This time, sketched in a diverted way, is full of ambiguities. The seriousness of the facts associated with this material is read with lightness, on the tone of the entertainment. Unboxing forms a landscape through the object which, in the manner of a museum, weaves a discourse along isolated artifacts of the World.

What if the kitchen tap breaks during lockdown?
A 21-chapter video diary about domestic irony, obsessive disinfection, confinement and escapes. The series was filmed with a smartphone, the only device available to the artist during the emergency measures for Covid-19. The body and everyday objects, the bathtub, the sink and then a public fountain become the absurd syntax of this diary.

Visual artist Frédéric Nauczyciel and Baltimore ballroom icon Lisa Revlon produce a series of encounters to unfold Lisa Revlon’s complex narrative, which she sums up as: « The Crying Game » meets « The Wire ». Or the secret of a woman « of difference », in the city of Baltimore, known for its corruption and drug dealing.
Lisa Revlon is a transgender woman and activist living in Baltimore, who at one point in her life was involved in drug dealing, for which she served a prison sentence. She is an emblematic figure of a city like Baltimore, of peripheral (urban) spaces and of femininity. Now in the clear with society, with the agreement of her lawyers, she tries to bring together these two aspects of her life in a complex narrative. In her own way, through her love of the ghetto, she takes control of her life and provides stability to those around her.

FILMFORM
With the support of the Swedish Cultural Institute
Filmform (est. 1950) is dedicated to preservation, promotion and worldwide distribution of experimental film and video art. Constantly expanding, the distribution catalogue spans from 1924 to the present, including works by Sweden’s most prominent artists and filmmakers.
« Care » Video, is a ritualised performance about the exposure of the self in relation to the other, expressing, depending on the point of view, the dependence or the ascendancy of the social being. It is also about the alternation of roles in the space of intimacy. The artist re-enacts the journey from birth, the greatest of separations, to the physical evolution of the individual. What seems to be attraction becomes pain and tends to crack, in an atmosphere of blood and vital flow. Anna-Karin Rasmusson performs the infinite (?) cycle of human incarnation.
