Taking place every two weeks, the ateliers are rendez-vous where the encounter with the other is built by sharing thoughts on images.
How do we live today with images? With the ones we create? The ones we see everyday? Be they journalistic, artistic, televised, propaganda, scientific, still or moving, from the past or present, from here or elsewhere, made by us or by others….

An invitation by our dear partners AllArtNow, to open their summer season. AllArtNowLab, Älvkarleövägen6 (Ropsten t-bana – exit Hjorthagen)  

Death, life is stalking you!
Video art presents an overflowing, a passionate gesture that decides what happens to your own body. Only passion is able to defy death and stupidity that lies in the eyes, obscene, of the others when looking at our bodies. What gives each of us a sense of freedom? Forgetting that we are being watched. Only then can we overcome the limitations the society built around us or even the clothes which hide the most private parts of our body. La peau-ésie. La peau-hérésie. Our body likes the freedom guiding us to a tomorrow that will not be a disenchantment anymore.
