Zerzura

SynopsisWie nehmen wir die „Natur“ wahr? Ist es ein „Ding“, dem wir Menschen äußerlich sind? Oder sind wir alle Teil eines Netz, in dem es weder Zentrum noch Peripherie gibt? Kann eine Zusammenstellung von Klängen und Bildern uns dazu einladen, die „Natur“ als lebendig, empfindungsfähig und handlungsfähig zu betrachten?
Nach Resistance (2017) und Osmose (2022) bildet Zerzura den Abschluss der Trilogie Corpus Animale.

BiografieLaurence Favre works with still and moving images, sound and writing. She explores how to divert constructed binary oppositions between the visible and the invisible, presence and absence, still and moving, real and fictional, memory and oblivion, generating poetic spaces where movement can be triggered. In the last several years she has been focusing on (post-)colonial and environmental matters, and their entanglements.

With a pronounced taste for celluloid, its materiality and its specific relationship to time, she develops a work that takes the shape of documentary essays, experimental films, installations as well as screening performances.

Born in La Chaux-de-Fonds (CH), Laurence studied sociology and photography and then cinema in Geneva and Portugal, she has also lived in Colombia and Australia. In 2016 she benefited of an artist’s residency in Berlin, and has since then been based in the German capital and in Geneva. She is an active member of the artist-run film lab LaborBerlin.

Her work has been shown in international film festivals and art spaces such as Locarno film festival, Rotterdam IFFR, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Visions du réel, Hong Kong HKIFF, Silent Green Berlin, Ferme Asile Sion, Tabakalera contemporary art San Sebastian, between others, as well as in the frame of symposiums and in informal spaces.
