A series of video installations by contemporary Swiss and foreign artists
Video art presented by the CAN at the NIFFF (Neuchatel International fantastic film festival, 10th edition)
MIXED GAPS & VERTIGO
Fantastic is always looking, in a more or less obvious way, the offbeat effect, which prevents a rational resolution of h(H)istory by disturbing the vision of reality. The galloping vertigo of the global era is strong in the surrealist chaos effect. Video takes note of, diffuses and especially differs images sometimes going as far as expressing saturation. Today, where quotations are practiced in an unconscious manner, are the subtle effects of offbeat, which are so popular in fantastic as a deconditioning force, still effective?
The CAN is pleased to present a series of recent video installations by contemporary Swiss and foreign artists in the perimeter of the festival: 3 videos by day/night / 2 artist performances during the festival / free entrance.
