Memories I don't remember
 
'''Logline'''
 
''Memories I don’t remember'' is a short film that follows my journey of collecting memories and stories of a family from Croatia that lived in the house of my grandmother in 1991/92 in which I have also lived for the first year of my life. I have photographs of the family taken by my father where I am also present, but I have no memories of my own as I was so little.
 
'''Artist Bio'''
 
Nina Rojc was born in Slovenia but considers herself a citizen of the world. She is interested and inspired by anything unusual, especially human relationships and behaviour, our relationship to nature and how to decolonize, change and revolutionize systems of oppression and our learned ways of seeing. Her work might appear simple at first, but she intentionally strips it of all unnecessary layers, to bring audience closer to the essence of life, to all that lies beneath the surface and might not be necessarily visible, obvious. She aims to draw attention to the diversity and complexity of this world, to allow us to recognize and accept all that do not conform to established norms and to see many ways in which these participants enrich our co-existence.

Bodies of Water

Logline
Bodies of Water contemplates humans disconnect to, and exploitation of the environment, through an ecocentric, ritualistic film and ceramics installation.

Staged in a clay lake; a remnant of clay extraction, an imaginary ritual is filmed, which uses ceramic objects and instruments made by the artist.

Referencing altars, the objects are presented alongside a guided meditation, allowing the visitor to be immersed in a ritual themselves.


Artist Bio
Clara Franke (1998, Hamburg), multidisciplinary artist/designer shaped a practice moving swiftly between photography, filmmaking, ceramics and costume design.

The intimate, calming world she builds evolves around topics of community/collaboration, the body, (spiritual) eco-feminism, mysticality, and contemplation of consumerism.

Memories I don't remember

Logline

Memories I don’t remember is a short film that follows my journey of collecting memories and stories of a family from Croatia that lived in the house of my grandmother in 1991/92 in which I have also lived for the first year of my life. I have photographs of the family taken by my father where I am also present, but I have no memories of my own as I was so little.

Artist Bio

Nina Rojc was born in Slovenia but considers herself a citizen of the world. She is interested and inspired by anything unusual, especially human relationships and behaviour, our relationship to nature and how to decolonize, change and revolutionize systems of oppression and our learned ways of seeing. Her work might appear simple at first, but she intentionally strips it of all unnecessary layers, to bring audience closer to the essence of life, to all that lies beneath the surface and might not be necessarily visible, obvious. She aims to draw attention to the diversity and complexity of this world, to allow us to recognize and accept all that do not conform to established norms and to see many ways in which these participants enrich our co-existence.
