In this speculative fiction, all the world’s photographs have suddenly turned into the objects they represent. The video depicts a vertiginous architecture, so devastating that it created new uncontrollable borders and isolated people. Piles of selfies, cats, and meals are scattered everywhere. Text messages evoke a new society living with limitations and suffering from media saturation, sensory overload, and crushing ecological impact. A world where images have taken over, invading, and transforming space. They become the only reality that is still visible, as the whole world is turning inwards.
Since 2002, collectif_fact (A. Schneider & C. Piguet) has shown their videos internationally in art festivals and exhibitions, including Maison européenne de la photographie, Paris, Centre d’art contemporain, Geneva Centre Culturel Suisse Paris, Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art, Lianzhou Foto Festival, Metropolis Art Center, Beijing, FotomuseumWinterthur. They received numerous awards such as the Swiss Art Award and recently the New Point of View Award at This is Short Festival, The European Short Film Network (ESFN) and Landis & Gyr residency in London.
