I want to go to the sea

I want to go to the sea… but I live in Paris and it is 22/04/2020, during the international ecological crisis; coronavirus. 1h04m49s of travel is the time it takes me, clicking non stop in google-earth, to reach my goal. In a special road trip without visible pollution, I walk on the grounds of the past (2018/2019). Without any obstacles, the horizon is revealed and I can tread a virgin land to reinvent.


See here the complete trip, get out the popcorn!

WE ARE NOT GOD I – The Astronomers

WE ARE NOT GOD I – The Astronomers


Les Astronomes draws on the relationship between art and science that Vidya-Kelie introduces into her visual work. It presents two intersecting creative processes.

Christian, a neuroscientist working on trans-humanism, is being interviewed in a closed-door setting.

Claire, the young filmmaker who shares his artistic issues, pushes the scientist to free himself from his costume of knowledge and film him in a sensitive moment.

DEPLOYMENT*

The artist organizes meetings in cafés; in a protocol identical to all, Vidya-Kelie does not speak, but lets her characters speak; Claire, artist, Manu, assistant and Mr Leclerc, neuro-scientist, all three embodied in “LES ASTRONOMES”, a film that the guest watches in the café, with headphones. Afterwards, the spectator will be invited to speak into a microphone, listened to in silence by the artist.

The audio documents will then be transposed into PDF to be presented as necessary extensions to its original script “LES ASTRONOMES”.

*The deployment is a key stage of the script, and precedes the dialogue continuity. It is developed from the synopsis (short summary of the film’s story). This text of several dozen pages will then enable the main plots and scenes of a film to be described in more detail.

MISSED CALL

The call is visible but condemned to the figure of isolation and the spectator feels sorrow when he cannot answer the call of “money” or “happiness”… on the other hand, since these aspirations are now visible to all, the witnesses can finally exchange on these subjects and create a real communication.

WE ARE NOT GOD I – Vidéo 2018. 15min

Behind closed doors, Christian, a neuroscientist working on trans-humanism, is interviewed.

Claire, the young filmmaker reveals her own artistic issues in order to take Christian with her so that she can capture him in a moment of truth.

« Les Astronomes » (short film)

Projection using the codes of the short film, the Astronomers, also the name of the exhibition, is the keystone of Vidyakélie’s new project. Les Astronomes is nourished by his pictorial, graphic or numerical practice, which questions the allegorical representations of the human condition: Les Vanités.

Les Astronomes proposes a closed door between three characters: two audiovisual professionals, the director of the film and her lighting designer on the one hand and a scientist working on Transhumanism on the other hand. As the scientist’s subject demands a theoretical requirement at the risk of popularization, the interview turns into an aesthetic and philosophical reflection on the representation of this process.

In Vermeer’s painting, the astronomer is absorbed by his task, he leaves no room for the viewer, the paradox of this reference is that the epicenter of Vidyakelie’s work is at the opposite end. The three characters forget their tasks to concentrate on an interaction, they question themselves.

The Astronomer has often been linked to The Geographer, a work mistakenly cited by the character of Claire, and these two paintings have long been considered as forming a coherent diptych. They are both of the same size and were painted at the same time. Even if this hypothesis has been refuted, these two works present some interesting similarities. Together, they are the only two isolated male representations of Vermeer. The composition and chromatic choices very close to these two paintings, make these works a secular derivative of the theme of Saint-Jérôme under study. This particularity is also present in the exhibition where each work has the function of fitting into the other, significant also in the projection where a work on the mise en abîme is also present.

Magnetic-Tango Video 3.40

 

MAGNETIC TANGO – video 3.40 min.

Searching frantically for a place to stop, this couple of suspended magnets follow an intense choreography to finally find refuge in stability.

The fixed magnetic fields diffused by the base, push and pull the mobile in a pre-determined path. There is no form of chance in these movements. A natural magnetico-gravitational intelligence tries to find the best compromise to use as little energy as possible, in either direction.

The natural friction pushes to a stop, and the journey becomes a dance. The illustrious Osvaldo Pugliese, the traditional symbol of the fiery tension of tango contextualizes this quest in an emotional dimension.

Interview by the curator: Julie Giacomini for the exhibition VIDEODELI 2

It’s part of a larger video project: Hope motion.

Enthusiasts around the world offer tips on Youtube on how to achieve infinite movement through magnetism; also known as “free energy” or permanent movement.

These tutorials promise that everyone can create their own individual energy which translates into circular paths. Notwithstanding the cost of producing magnets and the approximate competence of the physical sciences does not hinder this collective utopia of energy independence.

Vidya-Kélie combines the YouTubers’ videos in an immersive installation, creating a face-to-face encounter with a real pendulum made of magnets. This dyptic, punctuated by a tango by Pugliese, resonates like an echo of this international movement in search of a physical and emotional hope.

RECEPTION OF COMPLAINTS in a mall in Arcueil

A short video…  of the wishes of some people the Artist met at Arcueil. Project made in a résidency with Kind of kind collective, Le lieu de l’autre, Mars 2020

This film sends the life goals of the inhabitants of the shopping center “la vache noire” in Arcueil, France, on March 03, 2020 into space.

This information collected on small papers by the artist tries to be heard beyond the earth. The representation of the man of 2020 through this film reveals a fragility. The popularity of the conquest of space flirting with the simplicity of these wishes are exposed in divergent objectives and reveal a disorder that exists among men on Earth at the beginning of the third millennium.

As a metaphor for the exercise of art exhibition, the film SENT uses the desire to share its secrets to create opportunities for sharing and the fear that the message discovered may prevent its realization. Vidya-Kélie gently transfers these wishes into a dimension that escapes intimacy and superstition and now confronts the judgment of the other in the widest possible way including the extra-terrestrial, the non-human, the unknown.

With its “rules of confidentiality” that memorize the words we use and conclude our desires, the telephone is an intimate place where our time is prophesied*. Secret desires, hoped for by all but each one alone in his telephone, are displayed here in the window and reveal their unanimity .  ( happiness, love, health, friendship, housing, time… )

In this video installation, an iPhone stuck inside a shop window receives teasing calls confronting the spectator not to answer. The phone is visible but condemned to the figure of isolation it represents, and the spectator feels pain when he cannot answer the call of “Money” or “happiness”… on the other hand, these aspirations being now visible to all, the witnesses can finally exchange on these subjects, from man to man and create a real communication.

Thanks to the trust of the inhabitants, the artist was able to propose a work close to their concerns by mixing his own, namely human relations, digital intimacy, and the post-contemporary.

OFF du OFF Video 11min

OFF du OFF is a series of video portraits.

Through a staged interview with several actors of the French culture of the beginning of the 21st century, the artist archives their feelings about the relationship between Nature and Beauty. This classic theme of philosophy that has been rethought by the anthropocentric and transhumanist notions of the 20th century questions the prediction of the production of culture in the 21st century.
