Parting, Fusing, Telling: Generating ever-changing narratives

A collaboration between Mudam and Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain 

In the framework of the exhibitions Ho Tzu Nyen – Time & the Tiger (Mudam) and Eva L'Hoest – The Mindful Hand (Casino Luxembourg) 

With Léa Giordano, visual artist

VENUE: Mudam, 3, Park Eechelen, Luxembourg

Participation fee: 10 € / 1,50 €  with the Kulturpass

This workshop is an introduction to filmmaking. Participants will learn how to work on, alternate, and manually edit film sequences. From Ho Tzu Nyen’s idea of time having multiple forms, participants will create a handmade algorithm of loops that allows the simultaneous coexistence of multiple timelines versus single linear narration. The participants will organize the multiple timelines so as to make them work together. Looping all the films simultaneously, they will create a unique system that will generate a different narrative with each new activation, overthrowing chronology in favour of an ever-changing cycle of memories. 

After this first workshop, participants will be invited to join the second part of the workshop held at Casino. Here, they will learn how to create a voiceover. In the end, the film will transform in a kind of itinerant memory where images and sound move and interact in complete fluidity.  
 

Léa Giordano (she/her) is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Amsterdam and Luxembourg. After a B.A. in photography, she extended her practice to experimental filmmaking at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Her work easily moves between moving images and photography, using the materiality of analogue film as both metaphor and medium to shape narratives and underline the organic evolution of her creation process. Her practice explores themes of longing, belonging, melancholia, nostalgia, abandonment, change, grief, acceptance, and the passing of time. Through a meditative engagement with nature and the haptic process of silver film, Léa Giordano creates intimate spaces where emotion, memory, and time intertwine.
