Emmanuelle Antille

"Floating, crashing, spinning, spitting, kissing, beating over and over, not to stop feeling," 2005
Video installation, photographs

Emmanuelle Antille'snew series of works, grouped under the collective title "Tornadoes of My Heart," comprises three video installations, a feature-length film, and some 30 photographs.

The Center for Contemporary Images will focus on one of the three installations, Floating, crashing, spinning, spitting, kissing, beating over and over, not to stop feeling. The first of these three videos was shown this summer at Art Unlimited during the Basel Art Fair; the final piece of the trio will be the subject of a show at the Jeu de Paume in Paris this autumn.

This new group of works takes shape around the lives of six teenagers in a small suburban community. Through a collection of intense, brutal, off-beat scenes that the artist has filmed with raw realism, viewers will find themselves plunged into the world of these young people.

Masaki Fujihata

The Center for Contemporary Images is pleased to present together for the first time four of the artist’s Field Works, the latest of which, Landing Home in Geneva, was created this summer in Geneva in collaboration with the postgrad students of the new-media program at HEAA.

Kitted out with his equipment, Fujihata records the regions he visits, inviting us to tag along with him on his singular walks. Each of the sites where these walks take place was chosen in terms of the possibility of developing a project there linked specifically with its geography and history. In Field-work@Alsace, for instance, it was the border between Germany and France that was explored, while in Field-work@Mersea, the creation of a collective memory determined the walks taken by the participants around the island. As for Field-work@Geneva, the routes followed by interpreters and translators, who are to make their way to a place where they feel “at home,” will sketch out a number of circular itineraries.

All of the material (images, interviews, spatial coordinates, camera positions) gathered in the course of these trips is brought together in a computer. At the editing stage Fujihata cuts and recomposes the itinerary along the route recorded by the GPS, attaching frames—their orientation and movements—to its tangled threads and thus staggering the shots throughout the space-time. Viewers can then see recreated on the projection screen the different views captured during the walk. These are exactingly restored to their spatiotemporel sequence thanks to the coordinates furnished by the GPS, which serves as a thread running through the reading.
This three-dimensional cartography introduces a topography that immerses viewers in the experience of a virtual excursion. They navigate in front of a screen, building other stories while following the GPS itinerary, which guides them through the twists and turns of a landscape that has been laid out by multiple points of views...
