Arrastre
Director: Nicholas Brooks
Year: 2010
The title Arrastre denotes a drag in dance terminology, but is also the name for a crude apparatus used for pulverizing ore. Between choreography and a purely mechanistic series of random actions, Arrastre is populated by unfamiliar objects that are the protagonists in a drama with unknown parameters and driven by obscure forces.
Laitue
Director: Nicholas Brooks
Year: 2010
Laitue is a hand drawn film, tracing a brief journey from loss to a reunion of an unexpected kind. Two people are separated by time and space but nevertheless coincide in a series of movements which form a choreography of anticipation and unrest.
Loss.y
Director: Lisa Jamhoury
Year: 2026
Situated at the physical-virtual threshold, loss·y memorializes corporeal passing and digital rebirth. The work intertwines animated sculptural “dances” with interactive spatial audio, inviting audiences to navigate invisible thresholds as they move. loss·y presents three split-seconds of a motion-captured female-female pas de deux: each moment is suspended in a vignette that overlaps projection and 3D prints encapsulating the dance in sculpture, with spoken-word poetry and spatial sound design. The installation’s audioscapes blend cold technical facts, accounts of digital dysmorphia and surveillance, and computer-generated sampling, creating an elegy to the vital body that is at once human and digital. On its surface a critique of today’s techno-society, loss·y collusively takes up digital reduction and surveillance as creative media, revealing reverence for the uncanny wonder that pulls us forward into our new, hybridized world.
