Guided Visit: VideoDatabase – 3rd Carte blanche

Curator Christophe Piette presents a carte blanche program assembled from a moving-image archive, juxtaposing video works, digitized files and archival ephemera. The selection spans historical and contemporary practices, using screenings and installation formats to probe preservation, circulation and public access to media collections. Through an exchange between institutions across cities, the presentation questions how curatorial gestures reveal institutional histories, the materiality of moving images and the tensions between conservation and renewed public visibility.
