++++ PROGRAMME 1
This programme is based on effects of strangeness, opposition and tension. In Pia Greschner’s films, images of nature, of the city or of people appear in unreal dimensions, on the edge of the void, almost suspended. Olivier Nottellet’s work is built around the gaze and produces frames, obstructions and slippage between the surface of drawings and that of other found images. This sensation of permanent time and of circularity can also be found in the work of Elisabetta Benassi, whose videos allude to shared experiences and cross-references between reality and fiction.
