He has also done a curious series of views of auditoriums and seminar rooms at Berlin's Charity Hospital and Humboldt University, with perfect lines and no human presence. The background is very sober and simple : ranks of empty chairs, stages without teachers, tables without papers. Coupled photographs show a particular space from two opposed angles: one from the point of view of the teacher, the other from that of the students. Thus the space where knowledge is presented and revealed is juxtaposed with, and kept separate from, the space where knowledge is received and absorbed.

This notion of life as the "obstruction" (...) is essentially what feeds Mireille Loup's work. Through narrative photography and fiction or nonfiction texts, Loup's art continuously draws on life as it unfolds, a complicated mix of more or less controllable reality, future plans, and vexations. A form of art therapy? Nothing is less certain. An ironic penchant for debunking myths gives rise to a caustic form of expression that leaves us feeling that Loup is not inherently bent on perfect health. (Paul Ardenne)

Laurina Paperina ___________ painting / video (IT)

Laurina Paperina utilizes instruments of the net generation, immediacy and speed, and filters them through the manuality of design in order to put into discussion just that internet culture which she feeds upon. In her works she gives life to ironic animations and superheroes of which she creates protagonists, enjoyable characters like space frogs. They are simple subjects but extremely powerful, symbolic, as a new language, the visual language of the next generation.
