Amina Loumachi – Pleaser Flamingo-808G 8 inches schlong

by Amina Loumachi

This performance play with themes of spaces. Through sexualities, the artist questions power dynamics, creating a link amongst the bioluminescence concept as a visibility strategy and queer activism. With heels dancing and a neon atmosphere, the project explores the way of inhabiting the space which could either be intimate or the public. The artist amplifies the echo of their heels, which draws the silence while lighting up the space with each clack. A dialogue is created with the public, still but here. A biocenosis takes place where a space-sound landscape exists creating a tangible discomfort. Bodies become a vector of memories, breathing as the performance goes. A shared heritage gets distributed but also reverses the positions of everyone.

Anna Cocimarov – De deux choses l'urne (qui rit), l'autre c'est le sommeil...

Laughter on TV was recorded in the 1950s. Today, most of the people you hear laughing are dead.” This line from the novel Berceuse by Chuck Palahniuk  feels like an urban legend — half true. It echoes Bruce Nauman’s Partial Truth, a cold, minimalist stele shaped like a dead TV screen. Television, too, builds partial truths: cutting, filtering, reframing reality. We watch the news like a sitcom, between forced laughter and banalized tragedy. This installation reflects this fractured perception: two urns — one laughs, the other sleeps. Vessels of memory, they embody both absurdity and numbness. Between laughter and sleep, death and spectacle, the boundary fades — like truth itself.
