Moving Landscapes is imagined as a collective narrative, combining representations of natural environments and the imaginative repertoires used to convey them. Curator Jeanne Mercier has invited screenwriter Loo Hui Phang to collaborate in the form of a voice that narrates the works—many of which were specially produced for this event—by fifteen artists, active on the current art scene. Each piece makes use of a natural space—the jungle, oasis, sky, desert, forest, etc.—associated with certain stereotypes, but offers a new imaginative repertoire to evoke them. The festival, which gradually reveals a sensory and highly personal story of our relationship to the world, also seeks to be a space where visitors can reflect on contemporary topics, whether environmental issues, questions of identity, and migratory flows.
