ON LINE

Video [text and digital collages] – 31 minutes 42 seconds.

We say online when we are connecting to a network or communication system. This word became popular since the 90s with the significant increase in the flow of data through the internet. Based on the study of the horizon, 'On Line’ is a video that gives movement to an excerpt from the text titled ‘There is a voice that says, shut up. Shut up, all of you who standing at the edge of the abyss’ – Book-Performance, Chapter II, presented in 2018 in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Slowly, what we see is a set of phrases side by side, moving from left to right. You will also see that sometimes, they are interrupted by an image, part of a series of digital collages recently produced with photos collected from Google, using the following search options: violence, police violence, black population, protests and demonstrations, racism, everyday racism, etc. Although the video has a pre-defined total time, it is shown in a loop with the aim of uniting the end to the beginning, in an uninterrupted and continuous action.

What is in the mind of an artist? What does she think about every day? What are her dreams at night? Her ideas that she will realise... or not. Her failures that she will maybe never tell. What is behind the scene? Over one month, the French artist Élodie Merland will write everyday about her thoughts and art — or absence of art — in her brain.

CAGE

In 2015, research-led artist Jade Montserrat, and artist filmmakers Webb-Ellis, collaborated on a series of short 'performance to camera' videos. One of these videos, entitled 'Cage', was too difficult for them to process and discuss at the time of its creation, and so was left unseen. This year, in collaboration with writer and academic Alexandra Moore, they have watched the video again together, opening up conversations spanning land ownership, collaboration, feminism, race, and trauma.

El Sol en la Ventana

The project El Sol en la Ventana is a way to search for a connection to nature and the outside world from the interior of an apartment in Old Havana. These observations and exercises with materials drawn from the everyday life are ultimately expressions of different states of mind.
