A cycle of screenings curated by Light Cone and Le BAL
How do we perceive what we observe? If no gaze nor interpretation is definitive, the work of Batia Suter pushes us to readjust our tenets. Confronted with the profusion of collected images, the eye is suspended in hesitation. Certainly, it recognizes the representations, but the montage between images creates a hiatus, an enigma that must be deciphered. Using experimental and artist films partially taken from the Light Cone catalogue, the screenings elaborate on three consecutive stages of Batia Suter's practice: collection, montage, and the test of the gaze.
Tickets: 9,50 euros (full) / 7,50 euros (reduced)
Screening + exhibition at Le BAL Batia Suter, Radial Grammar : 11,50 euros combined ticket to be purchased beforehand at Le BAL
For many years Batia Suter has collected thousands of images taken from encyclopedias, advertising catalogues, pedagogical manuals, printed books, etc., involved in the mad entreprise of classifying and ordering the world in order to better put it into play. This art of collecting is exemplified here in a variety of ways: the found footage collections of Guy Sherwin and Anne-Marie Cornu, the woven film frames of Rose Lowder, Teo Hernandez's cinematographic tribute to the specters haunting film history, John Smith's amused gaze at images in magazines in link with the ideas of American psycholinguist Herbert H. Clark, or, finally, the collection of touristic postcards reanimated by Keitaro Oshima.
