Project description

Two short videos entitled THIS IS US and LOOK A LIKE / LUC A LIKE. These will be accompanied by three miniature sculptures named; SMALL THINKS MATTER. These projects are in relation to topics such as how we as humans seek to connect with one another and therefore ourselves - The endless surge for how we are and what role our family members play in defining that.

In THIS IS US we see a group of three people in three different scenes. Every scene shows how the group wants to be identified as a whole. “I belong therefore I am “. THIS IS US has a non-linear dramaturgy and can be seen as a collage of moments.  

LOOK A LIKE / LUC A LIKE is a digital triptych; on each screen we see Luca being dressed up in a different costume doing small gestures. This work is an image-based resurge into the different characters one person can embody. “By imitating many others I may find a self “

Bio

Adèle Grégoire
After studying drawing in la Cambre and cinematography in L'INSAS in Belgium,
I've been searching for ways to combine these two practices in the Lens-based media department of the Piet Zwart Instituut in Rotterdam.
At the moment, my practice explores speculative narratives depicting the possible encounters of different kinds of earthly beings and things through writing, drawing, and sound.
I like to say that I'm an observer constantly seeking to learn and unlearn through looking at my surroundings.
I try to work with love and attention fostering collaborative processes, in order to capture briefly the anxieties crossing my path, traversing me and the nearby.
In my work I want to acknowledge these anxieties setting them in a context, then let them continue their journey through matter and time.

Project Description The project Slices of Dust will be a photographic research into the minerals and gemstones culture, its collection, conservation and trade in the Netherlands. Slices of Dust will focus on rocks and stones in order to question the ambivalent relationship of man towards nature, this intends to be a continuation and a deeper dive into my ongoing research on Nature and Culture dualism. The project and the research will be executed through means of photographs, collections of visuals, documents and illustrations.

The story that I would like to tell is the journey of gemstone: which is the process that brings a stone from its birthplace (the mountain or the underground) all the way to our necklaces or rings?

Slices of Dust will take a particular emphasis: We extract stones and minerals from their natural context and place them into our cultural context assigning them new shapes, functions and value.

Bio Alecio Ferrari, born in Milan – Italy in 1995, Alecio Ferrari is a photographer based in Rotterdam. With a BA in Graphic Design from Falmouth University, UK, his photographs swing between still life compositions, documentary and portraiture. His portfolio is a mixture of fervent aesthetics, developed from a wide experience in visual arts and communication fields, aiming the creation of both commissioned and personal works with narrative at their core. His personal practice gravitates around the themes of nature < > culture dualism and the ambivalent relationship of man towards nature. His imagery is conceived as a hybrid of real and imaginary, playing around with both staged and un-staged scenarios.

project description

on a small island, in a big island (2022)

“The power to weave a story out of the dust, to narrate a story that the fragments support though others might fabricate a different narrative out of the same chaotic heap of fragments. The archive then is also a place of dreams,” says Steedman (2002) .

My grandfather’s archive of (moving) images is a place of dreams. In this chaotic heap of fragments I have found a possibility for places, people and parts of ourselves to not just meet and part – again and again – but to stay together.

A short film that explores a family history of coming and going, seen through glimpses and intimate details my grandfather has captured, composed and poetically revisited by me.

An attempt to hold us at once. Where we are is not a place.

bio

Kamali van Bochove, 1995 (Curacao)

Born in Curacao to a Dutch mother and Surinamese father. In 1999 I moved to Rotterdam where I still live to this day. In 2018 I obtained my bachelor degree in photography at the Willem de Kooning Academy.

Within my artistic practice I am interested in the interrelationship between photography and film. I often combine both photography and film in my projects, visually exploring what happens when the two meet. I try to bend the boundaries of these two media as I am curious to where they shift. (When does a photo become film-like and when does a film become photo-like?)

Thematically I am concerned with investigating my own identity in relation to that of my family. I have a family history of diaspora. I’d say that distance plays an important role regarding my identity. I’m interested in what role images play within the apprehension of this distance and how images can bring us (my family and me) closer together.

With my work, I investigate the role, value and use of images within family structures and contexts; and also how this changes over time. I often play with the question of when an image is amateurish and what happens when these images are shown or presented in a different context.
