HUMAN FRAMES – A SERIES OF TEN FILM PROGRAMS
The Human Frames cycle presents a series of ten film programs examining the human condition through experimental film and video art. Comprising of both contemporary and archive images from across Asia and Europe, this project is inspired by the ancient theory of humoralism as a framework by which to analyze certain aspects of the human character. It focuses on ten emotional states – happiness, desire, madness, fanaticism, fear, anger, isolation, melancholy, mono no aware, and impermanence – and depicts the timeless and universal panoply of human tempers that lay beyond national, social and cultural affiliations.
Human Frames is curated by Silke Schmickl, Stéphane Gérard, Masayo Kajimura, Victric Thng, François Michaud and presented by Lowave (Paris) in partnership with The Substation (Singapore), KIT-Kunst-im-Tunnel (Germany), and supported by the Asia Europe Foundation.

“Ob man sich beim Besuch der Schau auf das Zusammenspiel der filmischen Werke einlässt oder sich lieber auf einzelne Videos konzentriert, mag jeder Besucher entscheiden. Wie die Angst, das Glück, das Begehren und andere seelische Befindlichkeiten in Erscheinung treten, das beleuchtet diese facettenreiche Ausstellung. ” in: Bilder über Glück und Wahnsinn by Klaus Sebastian, Rheinische Post.

The Japanese concept of mono no aware (literally “the pathos of things”), which directs its attention upon the fleeting nature of all things and their inherent poetry, focuses centrally upon mood and man’s relationship with his environment. At the centre we see the reflections (A state of crystal, Johanna Reich; Orientations [variation 1], Ismaïl Bahri) or the skein of relationships between man and objects, i.e. reality (The outline of everything, Yuki Hayashi; In the field, Biying Zhang; Tsuchi no hito, Yasunori Ikeda) as well as the charting of deserted places and distant memories (Outside the sun is shining, Masayo Kajimura; Three notes, Jeanno Gaussi). The festival's special orientation toward South Korea will also be the opportunity present three films from others programs by South Korean artists (The place you left, Junho Oh; Masking for serene velocity – Heat shot 3, Yeongjeong Kim; Weekend, Paula Un Mi Kim).
