When She Spoke

Charlottenborg Art Talk ‘When She Spoke’ will gravitate around three different video sequences showing two girls and a young woman. The figures, their actions and the conditions in which each sequence was created will be a stepping ground to think together about power relations and the agency that is given (not given or forced) within image production—in front and behind a camera.

The talk will introduce the work of the duo in general and be a moment to reflect on the work of the duo in general and the making of the exhibition When She Spoke, presented in De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam Dec 16, 2018 – Jan 27, 2019.

Sirah and Eitan (both °1983 in Tel Aviv) have been working in collaboration for several years and are creating works in the Audiovisual field. Living and working in Brussels. Sirah and Eitan’s practice focuses on the performative aspects of the moving image. In their work they aim to mark the spatial and durational potentialities in the reading of images – moving or still; the relations between spectatorship and history; the temporality of narratives and memory and the material surfaces of image production. Their works have been shown in duo exhibitions in Kunsthalle Basel (CH), Argos (BE) and CAC Delme (FR); at group exhibitions in Argos, Brussels (BE); Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Humburg (DE); Portikus, Frankfurt (DE); Museumcultuur Strombeek (BE); Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl (DE) Jeu de Paume, Paris (FR) and STUK, Leuven (BE.
