„Ongoing Projections“: Vortrag von Lucile Desamory 

We cordially invite you to the ABK guest artist lecture series with the artist Lucile Desamory.

Lucile Desamory tells the stories of her films and other kinds of moving images with the voice of McCloud Zicmuse, who preferred to be called Linus Vandewolken in the film’s credits, the words of screenwriter Damien Desamory, the Pile, a psychophone, the rag tree and more…

The evening will take place in English, French, Esperanto, German and maybe a little Dutch but mostly in English.

Lucile Desamory (*1977, Brussels, Belgium) is interested in the borders between perception, excess, the falsified and neglected narratives. This interest in marginal phenomena requires a constant change in medium. She uses cinema, painting, drawing, embroidery, collage, photography, and her voice. She combines these techniques broader media such as installations, films, radio plays, and performances. Many projects are created as collaborations like for example the theater play “The Extraordinary Wig” with Antonia Baehr in 2020, the performance “Asteroseismology” in 2018 with Sabine Ercklentz and Margareth Kammerer or her second feature film “Télé Réalité” directed in collaboration with filmmakers Glodie Mubikay and Gustave Fundi, which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in 2020. Desamory’s work has been exhibited internationally amongst others at Tate Modern, the Shanghai Biennale “Cosmos Cinema” and steirischer herbst 2023.

Lucile Desamory just completed a television series that is also a feature film, “De Wervelende Wiwar – The Swirling Tangle.”
