WHO IS IT FOR
The Flux series is broadly aimed at artists, curators and anyone interested in the subject of moving image or film. The programme aims to inform and immerse participants in this visual language, challenging us as viewers to engage with and discuss the individual topics presented at each screening.
DESCRIPTION
Flux focuses on the dialogue between the still and the moving image, reflecting on their omnipresence in visual culture. Presenting a series of screenings with a special, but not exclusive, focus on artists’ film and experimental cinema. Flux works to inform and challenge its participants by presenting these individual visual languages and perspectives to facilitate conversations around them. While some screenings will be accompanied by guest speakers, all sessions include an open conversation amongst participants.
First Screening: Ana Mendieta

To launch and introduce the programme, we present the works of Cuban artist Ana Mendieta (1948-1985) – a multidisciplinary artist, working with performance, photography, sculpting, painting, and video art. She is a key figure in the Body Art movement and is probably best known for her “earth-body” works. Addressing topics such as ecofeminism, marginalisation, identity and violence, to name a few, the programme will include: Sweating Blood (1973), Mirage (1974), Ochún (1981) and a short film from the Silueta series.
The screening will be followed by Ana Mendieta, Nature Inside (2015), a short documentary film, directed by Raquel Cecilia. The documentary is narrated through corresponding images of Ana’s work, highlighting the themes and meanings behind her work.
With a very special thank you to Galerie Lelong and Corazon Pictures.
