These subaquatic visions are proposed as a prelude to the exhibition Né(e)s de l'écume et des rêves (Born of foam and dreams) to be held at the MuMa from May 5 to September 9, 2018.

Dreamlike visions in which indistinct presences appear through the veil of dreams, elusive objects stolen from desire (L'étoile de mer, Alleluia).

This program of works from San Francisco experimental-film distributor Canyon Cinema, one of DIM’s favourite partners, is curated by David Dinnell, visiting faculty at CalArts and former program director at the Ann Arbor Film Festival.

Maria Lassnig, who died in 2014, is internationally regarded as one of the most important painters of the 20th century. Her lyrical abstraction, developed from her own physical experience - the so-called "body awareness", in which emotional experience and physical sensibility are combined - also found cinematic expression in the early 1970s. As part of her New York exile, Lassnig attended an animation film class at the School of Visual Arts and began filming on 8mm and 16mm.

Deborah S.Philips works with a range of analogue media, including printmaking, painting, collage and film. The nature of colour is a subject she has been investigating for over a decade.
