Trained at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg and the École du Fresnoy, before joining the Villa Medicis in Rome in 2012, Clément Cogitore, through his films, videos and installations, develops a body of thought in which the images tell a story without applying the usual narrative rules. In this way, a documentary quite logically becomes fiction by the mere presence of the camera, which creates a frame and delimits a gaze. So, in the heart of the Taiga, two families living in autarky, isolated from everything, confront each other as if they were fiction.

Subtle, minimal and playful, Claude Closky creates a body of work that plays with all codes and logical systems, whether metrical, mathematical, alphabetical or grammatical. He observes, reclassifies, combines, accumulates, cuts out, assembles, glues, draws and photographs the infraordinary. To add a touch of humour and absurdity to everyday life, he poetically hijacks advertising codes and, with a rebellious streak, turns order on its head.

Fluorescent paint for Rococo hangings, neo-romantic punk with a taste for opera, soaps and wigs, as well as portraits of Simone de Beauvoir and pop singer France Gall... no subject frightens Nina Childress. Her paintings indulge in all the delights of matter, colour and form, without shying away from a non-aggressive feminism and a "silly conceptuality" that is at once tender, tangy and perfectly assertive.

In a world saturated with images and information, Marie José Burki's films, photographs and installations question our perception of reality, analyse our relationship with the passage of time, and focus on the relationship between words, language games and images. Her films and visual devices reveal and deconstruct the media strategies to which we are constantly exposed, reconnecting us with the living. 

From drawing to photography, Dove Allouche's work is never completely one or the other. He is more interested in the conditions under which images appear, where the medium only makes sense in its mutual relationship with the subject. His artistic projects are often rooted in reality or the manifestation of natural phenomena.
