THIRD DAY / TERCER DIA
ENTROPY III
​
Artem Tarkhanov
País : Rusia
​
"entropy III" is dedicated to the notion of time. In this video, I show a 4 weeks performance of hair separation as my "past" and "future". This particular process makes entropy of the system (mixed dark and gray hair) decrease in time. Even though the overall entropy increase due to the second law of thermodynamics, lifeforms have a rare ability to decrease it. This video was created during the quarantine in Russia, and after my recovery from Covid-19.

DOMESTIC ALTAR
​
Paulina Berestovaia
País: Rusia
The video work describes the intimate space of the altar, hidden from the eyes of the outside world. The characters jokingly offer to sacrifice themselves, talk about fear, which is not really there. And there is only infinite power and authority under the cover of submission.
Potted plants are weaned from the flesh of their native land, but they continue to spread networks of roots and fill centimeters of room space. The viewer becomes a visitor to a secluded garden, where each plant has its own character, and in the flower, literally - its own face.

BLACK BREATHING

It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
This is not a performance. This is my life, maybe yours.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
This is my first memory of my first police contact, it may also be yours.
After church, I was running back home, I was just a child.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
I was just there. I was me. I was breathing. I was alive.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
For them, I was not a minor, I was an error.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
I relive it every time I cross the path of an officer.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
Police protect your safety at the cost of your liberty.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
Police is the constitutional weapon of governmental policy.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
Governmental policies against me, you, the former migrant.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
The outcast, the outsider, the foreigner, the other.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
The faceless, nameless, anonymous, insignificant, the many.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
Because good people just talk, never act. I am the enemy.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
Many times has my head hit the ground, I thought I would die.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
How many have died? How many will die?
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
Some can't take it anymore and commit suicide.
It is not a safe space. We are not safe. I'm not safe.
Legal terrorism. Casual genocide.
Breathe for the forgotten.
Breathe for you.
Breathe for those who can't.
Breathe for us.
And do not stop.
""This is our space. This is our time. This is our fight.
For all the bodies, minds and souls that don't follow the right corpus.""

BIO
Sylvain Souklaye is a French performance and installation artist. 
He is obsessed with sampling intimacies about people who don't belong to a determinate identity, gender, class, colour or nationality.Sylvain Souklaye performances are a collage of individual memories which are relived for and via the audience.
Self-taught, he began performing with vandalism in Lyon, and then intimate happenings, radio experimentation and action poetry. He later developed digital art installations using field recording techniques as a narrative layer while pursuing his writer’s path.
Among his best known pieces are la blackline, a 5-year durational radio performance about socio-economic survival and urban absurdity, le déserteur a digital art installation dwelling on the notion of abandonment, TME a docudrama performance exploring self-inflicted amnesia and resilience and MIGRANT MARKET a remake of the slave market updated for the uber economy.
Sylvain Souklaye methods characteristically involve intense physical acts as well as the use of unsettling intimacy.
Recientemente recibe el Premio de Artes Visuales de Nantes (Francia).

Unos días atrás había leído el poema del maravilloso Fernando Pessoa que tiene por nombre Aplazamiento, y fue como un pasado mañana para mí, por supuesto debido a la pandemia y el encierro siempre parecía decir: en esperanza que tal vez pasado mañana. El desplazar la vida saltando un día para el siguiente, como las manecillas del reloj, el hervidero menjurje de mamá y los gatos con su parsimonia, la cura del tiempo llega, pero solo llega con la muerte. Claro está que todo esto puede discutirse ya que la muerte puede llegar en vida, caminar sin hacer camino, o respirar pero sin gustar de la rosa hasta que muere.
A few days ago I had read the poem by the wonderful Fernando Pessoa called Postponement, and it was like the day after tomorrow for me, of course due to the pandemic and the confinement always seemed to say: in hope that maybe the day after tomorrow. To displace life by jumping from one day to the next, like the hands of the clock, mom's boiling poison and the cats with their parsimony, the cure of time arrives, but it only arrives with death. Of course, all this can be discussed since death can come in life, walk without making a path, or breathe but without tasting the rose until it dies.
EL VIENTO NO ESPERA

The project "the wind does not wait" is an investigation around "chatting": inter - sectional prison communication practice. This practice is used in order to engage in clandestine conversations at a distance, by means of signing techniques operated from the body. Chatting is used by inmates, family members and spouses, carried out within and around the border of the Ibagué maximum security prison (C.O.I.B.A). The series of videos expose records of the places where conversations, interviews with people related to the practice and actions - exercises take place, which exemplify the multiple alphabets that make up this language. The research problematizes two aspects: on the one hand, I wonder how the word can acquire an expressive plasticity through language, and on the other; As this practice creates spaces (places and encounters), where dynamics of power administration and subordination are evidenced, the causes give rise to this language; as a practice of flight and escape from repression.
The title of the project comes from an appreciation of the wind, since it intervenes on a daily basis between conversations "the wind wants to carry away the words": the wind does not wait, as well as the search for freedom of the 'canine body' by get closer to your loved one. How can the word acquire a plasticity through the language and the body? How does chatting operate as a communication practice in contexts of prison confinement?

For some time now I have been dealing with a mixture of contemporary music and video art.This type of music has a long tradition in Germany and can be shown both in the context of a new music festival, but also at media art festivals or in galleries and museums. On the one hand, this music requires knowledge of instrumental music and live electronics, on the other hand, it requires knowledge of photography and image processing. IRCAM software such as Max Msp, Open Music and Jitter are used here. The goal is to create an interface between music and art. In this context, many courses of study such as "Sound Studies" or "Music and Media Art" were created in Germany.
In my work I cooperate with scientists from the Humboldt University Berlin and the Charité Berlin and research cells with regard to their graphical, typological structures, on the other hand I deal with various plant species in the botanical garden. For this I use typological processes that are based on Bernd and Hilla Becher and their Düsseldorf school.

POEMAS ESPARSOS
​
Thales Ferreira
País: Brasil
​
Cansado de ser planificado en la bidimensionalidad de las pantallas, un cuerpo distorsionado, incapaz de ser completo. Un cuerpo que se encapsula en objetos traslúcidos y se hace ver a través del agua, posibilidad de expandir lo exprimido, duplicarse y relacionarse de otra manera. La obra utiliza los lenguajes de la danza y las artes visuales, y refleja una preocupación por las representaciones del cuerpo en la pantalla en este periodo en el que nos presentamos al mundo de forma bidimensional, a través del lente de cámaras, webcams, smartphones, computadoras. Siempre hay una distorsión, una barrera invisible e invencible, y me vi invitada a frotar esos límites, provocando otras barreras, distorsiones y ángulos que ahora podrán revelar mi cuerpo fragmentado en la imposibilidad de su plenitud.
