Inventer le possible. Une vidéothèque éphémère

Official app of the project presented at the Jeu de Paume from 14 October 2014 to 8 February 2015.

The twenty-six videos selected for this video library include documentary and fictional works, ranging from animated films to experimental pieces and performance videos. They explore, with varying degrees of humour or sense of tragedy, our confusion in the face of the failure of the utopias that succeeded each other up until the close of the twentieth century. This project is thus an invitation to reflect on how we can, within this context, envisage inventing possible futures or imagine new models for change.

With Edgardo Aragón Díaz, Yto Barrada, Eric Baudelaire, Ursula Biemann, Wim Catrysse, Declinación Magnética, Theo Eshetu, Mahdi Fleifel, Sirah Foighel Brutmann & Eitan Efrat, Peter Friedl, Pauline Horovitz, Marine Hugonnier, Khvay Samnang, Hayoun Kwon, Martin Le Chevallier, Naeem Mohaiemen, Wendy Morris, Carlos Motta, Els Opsomer, Daniela Ortiz & Xosé Quiroga, Anxiong Qiu, Allan Sekula, Hito Steyerl, Atsushi Wada, Yang Fudong and Artur Żmijewski.
