Video installation is an art form that combines installation art with video

Opening & Artist Talk, in conjunction with WNDX

Chronogram of Inexistent Time is a multi-projector film and video installation

consisting of loops of multiple images projected onto asymmetrical screen
surfaces. The work deals with the architectural possibilities of ephemeral images,
their displacement and the traces that they leave behind; repetition, memory
and time. Based on the exploration of stillness and motion, and the sensorial
experience, this work opens a visual experience in the space of constant
transformation. Shifting angles and perspectives allow us to glimpse conceptions
of space in a fragmented and poetic vision. In this sense, the architectural
quality has a means to articulate time and space by modulating reality while
projections an images work as a collage to create non-linear and nonsynchronized visual syntaxes; time is interruption and image becomes the spark
of this interruption.

manipulated large-scale photography and video installation. Drawing on the imagery of
science-fiction cinema, literature, and the history of landscape painting, her research focuses

The Persistence of Hope

Janet Biggs, 2015
Two-channel, high definition video instillation with sound, 16:9 format
With Arctic footage from Katja Aglert's Winter Event-antifreeze, 2009 (filmed by Janet Biggs).
Janet Biggs video, The Persistence of Hope, is a two-channel video installation which focuses on the
solace one of Biggs relatives found in his residual memory of birds. After his diagnosis, he would
gather dead hummingbirds found in his garden, carefully seal them in clear plastic bags, and place

them in his freezer. Only after his death did the artist learn of this ritualized attempt to sustain beauty
and hold onto life as he felt it fade away. Juxtaposing imagery of gravity-defying hummingbirds with
footage shot in the Arctic and in neurological research laboratoriesin particular of freezers preserving
everything from simple worm cells to human brain cellsBiggs paints a tender picture of life caught
between hope and futility.
The Persistence of Hope is part of Biggs' work, Echo of the Unknown, a multidimensional exhibition
combining video, sound, and objects that explore the role of memory in the construction of a persons
identity.

Anna Konik
A Grain of Sand in the Pupil of the Eye. Video works
20002015
The exhibition of Anna Konik summarizes an important stage in her artistic practice, above all with
video. The artist combines the aesthetics of audio-visual media with the spatial form of an installation,
in which the dynamic presence of the viewer gives the works a transformational dimension and
personalizes its reception.
Four video installations by Anna Konik are shown in the exhibition: In the same city, under the same
sky, Villa of the Enchanted, Play Back (of Irene), as well as Our Ladys Forever. Other works, such
as Toys and Transparency will find their representation in the form of spatial models, sculptural props,
and documentation. The context for these projects includes never seen before video footage, which
complement them, serving as stage directions, but also the student works of Konik, her drawings and
photographs.
