Conservator-restorer Éléonore Bernard presents a curated selection of pioneering video artworks from the 1980s and 1990s. The program gathers single-channel and experimental pieces that foreground the materiality of analog videotape: magnetic signal plasticity, audiovisual disturbances, image deconstruction, superimpositions and transparency.
Works range from introspective performances and bodily studies to subtle subversive gestures and feminist utopias, using montage, tape artifacts and layered imagery. The selection reveals how early video practices explored error, repetition and ritualistic modes of attention.
