Screening of ‘Sleeping Image’ at Beirut Art Center

Wednesday, Mar 5, 2014
8:00pm -> 9:30pm
Beirut Art Center

Georges Didi-Huberman and Arno Gisinger are conceiving a program of parallel events in which videoworks born out of the Lebanese milieu meet with a selection of “atlas of images” emerging from different contexts.

Bernhard Braustein et Lucile Chaufour, “Sleeping Image”, France-Austria, 27’, 2013. German and French, subtitled in English.

This is a “film-experience” that lets us see the development of 25 Polaroids and the imagination they contain: mountains, lakes and deserts gently spread their lines, the shadows grow. The characters appear in a dreamlike condition where their inner worlds and landscapes meet. In a continuous, fluid motion, the film offers a way through a hostile and fascinating world, where violence, suffering and sorrow stand alongside hope and a fighting spirit.
