Omitting 1986 emerges from the artist’s practice of scratching and manipulating film purchased from a flea market, later identified as a film roll of an anti-war French comedy by Les Charlots. Through experimentation with film as historical material, the artist engages in processes of distortion, recontextualization, and reimagining to examine the entanglement of the individual and collective, past and present, and the possibilities of memory beyond material constraints.

𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗲 (b.2002), is an audiovisual artist working inbetween Ghent and Brussels. He is completing his master’s degree in Animation Film at KASK & Conservatory in Ghent. Over the past few years, his work has centered around found footage, primarily using Pellicule 8, 16, and 35mm film. A recurring theme in his practice is the decontextualisation and recontextualisation of these found films. Through this process, he interrogates the complexities of authorship and appropriation of these 'stolen' materials both of the original footage and of his own creative interventions.

Anastacia Mala

2023

6 minutes

Reflecting on her diasporic experience as a Malaysian raised in Norway, Anastacia Mala manipulates archived home videos by replacing the binary codes of the video files with significant dates from her personal life. This process creates glitches in the footage, combined with melancholic melodies composed by the artist. Homing Desires explores the fragility and disruption of memory, capturing the emotional dissonance between a past that feels distant and a present of displacement.

𝗔𝗻𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮 (b.2002 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) is a photographer based in Milan/Oslo. Anastacia attended a BFA in photography and visual arts at IED Milano where she began to combine traditional photography with digital techniques such as computer bending and coding to deepen the conceptual level of her work. Anastacia has been part of several group exhibitions in Oslo such as "Mellom rom" at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter and "Take It Off" at Kunsthall Oslo. In 2024, she participated in her first group exhibition "Recollections in Tranquillity" at Linke Gallery in Milan.

In her personal projects, she explores themes such as identity and cultural belonging, and her work often highlights the intersection of her two cultural backgrounds through the integration of elements that are both political and aesthetic. In her more commercial work, she places great emphasis on including Asian elements in her fashion and fine arts photography, as a way of highlighting Asian perspectives in a predominantly white industry.

In addition to her photographic work, Anastacia engages in curatorial and research-based initiatives, where she creates both physical and digital spaces for Southeast Asian creatives in Europe. Her work highlights the lack of representation of Southeast Asian photographers in white-dominated cultural spheres, particularly in Europe. By collecting and producing images that resonate with the Asian diaspora, she seeks to foster a sense of belonging and comfort for people navigating these shared experiences.

ORBITOR weaves a poetic narrative revolving around the 1966 Lunar Orbiter mission, narrated and infused with interviews of the artist's grandparents, recalling their fragmented memories of that same year. The layering of narrative and the ambient hum of a radio crash, disrupt, and interfere with each other, revealing a haunting blurred portrait of Thailand in the Cold War era, oscillating between personal memory and geopolitical histories.

𝗦𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗸𝘂𝗻 (b. 2003) was born in Chiang Kham, Phayao. He is currently studying Media Arts and Design at Chiang Mai University. His work explores political history, memory, and the micro-stories of those marginalized by dominant narratives. He is also involved with untitled for film, a group dedicated to decentralizing Thai cinema by creating an alternative space for screenings, programs, and a community hub for independent filmmakers and students. Beyond cinema, the collective hosts performances, live music, and various artistic experiments.

Into a Flame is an experimental documentary, observing the space within a textile factory from a perspective that is neither too distant nor too close, exploring the relationship between humans and nonhumans. Without dialogue—only the rhythmic hum of machines and the silent presence of workers—the film leaves a lingering afterimage, evoking a metaphorical experience, akin to flapping swarmers drawn irresistibly to light.

𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗻 (b. 1996) is an independent photographer and videographer. He graduated from the School of Architecture and Design at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi in 2018. His work focuses on moving images and documentary filmmaking.
