On the occasion of the closing of the exhibition by Charlotte Moth, A Rounded landscape / Un paysage arrondi, at MAMC+ and the publication of the catalogue that accompanies it, Charlotte Moth unfolds her universe and reveals her inspirations through a selection of films by visual artists and video makers at Cinéma Le Méliès Jean Jaurès. Session followed by a signature of the exhibition catalog. Still Life in a White Cube (2019) by Charlotte Moth, 8 minutes Charlotte Moth is inspired by the essays of Brian O'Doherty, which criticize the artificial neutrality of the exhibition space. Made at an invitation by CA2M - Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo in Mostoles, Spain, this film explores the architecture of the place and dialogues with some works from the collection. By mixing natural and artificial elements, Charlotte Moth transforms the space into an organic theatre evoking animality and metamorphosis. Disappearance of a Tribe (2005) by Deimantas Narkevicius, 9 minutes Initially trained in sculpture, Deimantas Narlithuanian then turned to cinema and video. Disappearance of a Tribe, a video consisting of a series of 101 black and white photographs, tells the story of a family in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Lithuania.

Anything (For Brunhild) (2023) by Luke Fowler, 9 minutes This ode to the composer Brunhild Meyer-Ferrari gives an insight into her artistic collaboration with her husband, Luc Ferrari, without giving in to the classicism of a traditional biography.
