SANGUINE

Lili Dujourie
It's the one work in which Dujourie doesn’t perform migratory passage on and off camera. Rather, she slouches on a stool in the corner of a room, legs spread, hands between them, leaning against a wall most of time as though fatigued or bored.

In 1869, John McGregor, a Scottish adventurer and explorer, set out on a journey along the Jordan River from the river source to the Sea of Galilee.

She gets up four times to carry out dance choreographies and then sits down again...

GROWTH RECORD

Lisa Spilliaert
In this long-term project Spilliaert records the growth of a child, whose mother might, as it were, have been the filmmaker herself. She'd had sex with the Japanese man who became a father nine months later. Curious about the baby, she decided to photograph the child at regular intervals....
