Eva Giolo, 2016, 5’
At the core of this film collage is the artist’s search for the face of her deceased twin brother, who died without leaving behind any photographic record. Using archive footage and her own home movies, paradoxically his absence is rendered perceptible through a profusion of images. An indirect portrait as the confirmation of an existence.
Eva Giolo (b.1991, Belgium) is an audio-visual artist and filmmaker from Brussels. She obtained an MA in Fine Arts at KASK, Ghent and her musical education at the Institute of Contemporary Music in London. In her work Giolo tries to capture familial stories using documentary strategies to make portraits of usually private and unseen interior worlds. Her work has been exhibited all over the world, and in 2016 she won the VAF Wildcard for experimental film. She is a founding member of Elephy, a Brussels-based production and distribution platform for film and media art.
