The work of the French artist Edith Roux and the Belgian Janna Beck is among the proposals of the XIV Bienal de La Habana, that will be close to the visual contemporary creation until April 30th.

Roux shows Ciné décalé in the instalation of video-photography, a kind, poetic and polítical view over the fragile spaces and of transition, the web page of the French Embassy in Cuba gives details.

The document talking about the polítical trajectory of the creator for more than two decades, marked by the experimentation and search for new visual forms   refers that “Her work proposes an analysis of the human being´s place in periphery territories, it can be China, United States, Europe, Costa de Marfil, Cuba or France”.

According to what the text says Ciné décalé dates from 2018 and puts the visitor in front of a big abandoned movie screen printed and stick on the exhibition wall, while the video, recorded in Abobo a neighborhood in the North of Abidjan, is projected over the image.     

Beck combines digital drawing with video projections and music in the piece tittled Framed, which is the result of the collaboration with a group of artists from Cuba.

It emerged from an investigation project carried out by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ambere, Belgium, in collaboration with Maxlab and Lab101, the work is in the Bienal de La Habana together with the Cuban groups Axis Visual Lab and Tocar Pronto.    

The text says that to do it, the creators interpret the sounds around them and transform them in lines, done in digital drawing devices, while they are also inspiration for musicians “generating in this way enveloping atmosphere”.
