I venerdì pomeriggio
The Friday afternoons at Istituto Svizzero are dedicated to our residents. It is an opportunity for the public to learn more about the projects they are working on during this year’s residency.

Event Horizon – Là  où commence le ciel
An evening of sky-driven film screenings
Conceived by Pauline Julier and Filipa Ramos

To conclude her Istituto Svizzero residency, Pauline Julier and writer Filipa Ramos offer an initial glimpse of the artist’s current research project “Là où commence le ciel” [There where the sky begins].
The evening of the 9th of September will reveal fragments of Julier’s working process while flying over the Mont Fuji and following the wakes of drones, dwelling into visual and theoretical works that look, hear, think and dream the sky, taken as an entity, an assemblage of metaphorical and concrete figures.

An echo of this evening will appear in the form of a podcast later in October as MACRO’s Dispatch No.8. The podcast will feature, among others, authors Anne Carson Vinciane, Despret and Quinn Latimer.
