Project description

In this atmospheric short film, a man returns to a gloomy forest in Birmingham, where long ago a mysterious crime was committed. Party photo-roman, partly digital travel report, this short film juxtaposes old forensic photographs with videos shot with a phone of the crime scene as it stands in the current day. A whisper in Hagley Woods reflects on placeness, the apparatus of cinema and on the way ghosts inhabit photographs. It further ambiguously explores the role of the male creator indulging his obsession. He retraces the steps of the murderer as well as the victim… while reminiscing on a past that is shaped through the lens of fictional narratives.

Bio

Jelle Havermans was born in the Netherlands and currently live in Amsterdam. In his current work he reflect on film and it's role in history. Recurring topics are the depiction of violence and (true) crime, cinematic language and the aesthetics of forensic imagery. By mingling fiction with documentary-style investigation, he explores his own obsessions and desires, through the lens of true crime media and horror.

Project description

I pointed the lens at myself, I focused it nearby
“I pointed the lens at myself, I focused it nearby” is a research project which considers the lens and its role in articulating notions of identity. The lens acts and is considered as a metaphor for looking and being looked at. Referencing Trinh T. Minh-ha’s philosophy of using the lens to “speak not about identity but to speak nearby,” the project examines identity linked to image, place, feeling and personal history.

Bio

Fileona Dkhar [IN] is a Rotterdam-based Khasi artist and researcher. Her work investigates the personal, spatial, abstract and ideological boundaries of representation. Her work uses generative applications of code, performance, filmmaking, writing, and photography.

Project description

The Living Room Wars [Video (color, sound)]
This video is an excerpt of her creative documentary The Living Room Wars

Western media called the Vietnam War “the Living Room War.” For filmmaker Thy Nguyen’s family, the end of the war in 1975 brought a new war into their living room. The story starts with a Ho Chi Minh TV broadcast: numerous women looking for Thy's grandfather after the war ends spark a series of bitter family disputes which last for generations.


Bio Nguyen Ngoc Trang Thy is a Vietnamese artist and filmmaker based in Rotterdam, NL. The first generation born in peacetime in her family, at the age of 17, Thy was sent abroad to pursue Western Education. Thy makes video arts and films that investigate gender roles, societal beliefs and the crime of (the Vietnam) war, the trauma war caused and how small, personal narratives of women (and men) in times of tragedy interwoven with grand, historical narratives throughout the history of Vietnam.

Thy is currently making a creative documentary film named “The Living Room Wars.”

Lea Novi

Project description


The project The calm after the storm consists of abstract photographs and a text. Through conversations, thoughts and feelings, it reflects my emotions regarding my engagement with photography as my practice and questions its changing meaning in today's society. The photos are result of a search for the calm, the quiet, and for comfort.

Bio

Lea Novi is from Germany and has a background in documentary photography. In her work she focuses on the feeling of isolation and belonging as well as the underlaying structures of society. She is interested in developing techniques that allow for a deep level of engagement and empathy with these subjects. In her current project, she reflects about her own photographic practice.

Project description

Project called "unframed". It will be presented as a video installation and will have three chapters. The first chapter subtitled "离" would be shown in V2. It illustrates a situation that in a certain frequency, the body has falling into different parts, they individually build up their own relations with the environment, and randomly interact with each other.

Bio

Muxingye Chen is from Chengdu, China, studied at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam with the Master Program Lens based media.

He works with digital art on an abstract representation of body movement. He uses animation and 3D programming as a kind of extension of the limited body. In this way, he tries to deconstruct, unravel and convert our current image of how we deal with social structure into our individual experience.

Project description


The project is a series of experiments in search of (un)mediated particularities of communicative space in video chat. The exhibition will be three installations alongside my thesis presentation in whether paper form or digital. In terms of installation, Compass Video Calling Device is two hand-held devices that audiences are invited to interact with others, they only can see each other when they face each other. The second installation is a Shared Table, an installation to contextualize the action of video chat which encourages people to encounter random or friends in a place I call Shared Table. A table cut in half, one is situated in the indoor space while the other half sits outside the V2. A sleeping mattress will be placed alongside my still image work-Sleeping Together. The work questions the physicality, unification, virtualization of space we intimately shared.

Bio

I am a cross-disciplinary individual who is constantly seeking for innovation in environmental and people-engaging design. As a professional practitioner, I have been designing many practical and conceptual projects for ten years. I also conduct my own practices for exploring new possibilities of space by diverse approaches such as mixed media, spatial art, installation, and photography.

Project description
I'd like to exhibit two videos, single channel:
1. Domani ti dimenticherò meglio (Tomorrow I will forget you better)
2. Baci fantasma (Ghostly kisses)

1. Domani ti dimenticherò meglio (Tomorrow I will forget you better)
Details: 3’, colour, sound, 1920 x 1080, 2019 - 2020
A girl wanders through the streets, the promenade, the reeds of bamboo of a small town in the South of Italy on Google Earth. She revists the places that once saw her tight to her former lover. An intimate confession unravels between aerial visions and street views of the town, spherical panoramas uploaded by the users of Google, and the virtual touch of the cursor on the screen.

2. Baci fantasma (Ghostly kisses)
Details: 19’3’’, colour, sound, 1920 x 1080, 2021
A story of loss, fragility and obsession told through the interface of Google Earth. A girl goes to the city of Rome looking for her lost love. She leaves three red roses behind at each stop she makes, hoping that they will lead her former lover to her. In the light of unresolved desire, the roses become indexical markers of human emotion in a depersonalised digital world of anonymous blurred faces. The voiceover is interspersed with the transcription of a WhatsApp chat that begins with the last and ends with the first message the two sent to each other.
