Video Show and The Blind Pigeon brings together a selection of videos in two distinct environments. On the one hand, a selection of works shown in loops, in an atmosphere that could be described as museum-like; on the other, a bar flanked by a cinema bathed in a post-apocalyptic atmosphere that comes to life during screenings. The opposed energies of these two venues evoke the back-and-forth between self and other, between community and intimacy.
