“I would like the viewer to have a physical experience through the time used in each shot. To have this physical experience that time unfolds in you, that time enters you.”
Chantal Akerman
Chantal Akerman was born in 1950 in Brussels, and died in Paris in 2015. The major Belgian director and pioneer of feminist and experimental filmmaking is represented by Marian Goodman Gallery (New York, Paris, Los Angeles). She made over 40 films during her lifetime, and is considered to be one of the most important European directors of her generation.
The installation complemented the simultaneous exhibition at the Jeu de Paume this autumn, “Chantal Akerman - Travelling”.
