Echoes from GIUNGLA, a looped screening weaving together materials from past editions with works we’ve long wanted to present. A way to reactivate visions, languages, and imaginaries that continue to resonate with the spirit of GIUNGLA — among bodies, machines, possible landscapes, and worlds in transformation.
The videos will be screened in a continuous loop throughout the day, allowing anyone to stop by, stay, return, enter and leave freely.
Program
Julien Prévieux – Where is my (deep) mind (2019)
HD video, color, sound; 14’59” | French with English subtitles
Julien Prévieux explores the principles of machine learning by translating invisible digital processes into performative human actions. In Where Is My (Deep) Mind? a laboratory becomes the stage where four performers enact movements and dialogues drawn from datasets used to train AI systems. Through this physical and vocal transposition, the artist reveals the mechanical nature and inherent paradoxes of automated learning. The result is an ironic and critical reflection that makes the deep logics of artificial intelligence perceptible—while simultaneously subverting them.
Julien Prévieux (1974, Grenoble) works across video, performance, and installation. He is known for his critical approach to technology, culture, and the social structures of contemporary life. Winner of the Prix Marcel Duchamp in 2014.
Bertrand Dezoteux – Endymion (2021)
CGI animated film; 16’ | French with Italian subtitles
The work unfolds as a visual and narrative adventure in which 3D-animated characters, voiced by the artist’s family members, move through a bizarre and fluid world suspended between science fiction and everyday drift. A flying Citroën DS, hybrid figures, and familiar avatars generate an ironic tale that blends personal memory, pop culture, and sci-fi imagery — a signature of Dezoteux’s style.
Bertrand Dezoteux (1982, Bayonne) creates experimental animated films mixing science fiction, humor, and real life. His works are presented in museums and art centers across Europe.
Raziye Kubat – Nightflight Poem (2020)
Video with painting, text, and the artist’s voice; 3’27’’ | Turkish with English subtitles
Nightflight Poem emerges from the artist’s broader research into the relationship between perception, memory, and imagination. The work combines voice, painted images, and an intimate soundscape, evoking a metaphorical night journey through emotions and states of mind. It reflects Kubat’s approach, where dreamlike elements, animal figures, and social sensitivity intertwine to create delicate yet powerful narratives.
Raziye Kubat (1968, Malatya) lives and works in Istanbul. She studied Fine Arts at Mimar Sinan University, and her practice brings together painting, printmaking, video, and community-based projects tied to social engagement.
Cristina Picchi – Champ des possibles (2015)
HD video, color, sound; 14’ | French with Italian subtitles
The film is an urban symphony in which memories, sounds, natural elements, and architectural transformations intertwine to compose a poetic portrait of the contemporary city. Stories of loss and rebirth flow like waves among demolished buildings and new constructions, alternating darkness and glow, night and dawn. The urban landscape becomes a fabric of possibilities, a field from which new life paths may emerge.
Cristina Picchi (1981, Lucca) is an Italian filmmaker and visual artist active internationally. Her works have been featured in festivals such as Venice and Locarno, and are supported by residencies and European institutions.
Alice Brygo – SOUM (2022)
HD video, color, sound; 31’ | French with English subtitles
Set in the outskirts of Paris, the film follows Inti, Jai, and Paulo in their search for an empty space — real or symbolic — where they can find a moment of suspension from the world around them. Blending documentary, performance, and surrealism, the narrative reflects the tension between a world that is falling apart and one that has yet to be born. SOUM constructs a fragile, shifting, suspended generational portrait.
Alice Brygo (1996, Montpellier) is an artist and filmmaker trained at ENSAD and Le Fresnoy. She works across film, installation, and performance, with a particular focus on urban imaginaries and emerging social tensions.
An invitation to recover echoes, to listen again, to look again.
To lose oneself in the rhythm of images, together.
