In Camera
Eva Giolo inhabits AFFILIATE as a temporary residency, setting up a paper photography background to create a studio in which she films a series of formalist portraits for her new film in progress, In Camera. Shooting on 16mm, the experimental short film will explore the subjective experience of time, sleep, grief, and desire, unfolding through gestures of stillness, repetition and through duration.
Eva Giolo is an artist working with film, video, and installation. Her work places particular focus on the female experience, employing experimental and structuralist strategies to explore themes of intimacy, permanence and memory, along with the analysis of language and semiotics. Her films, installations and other projects have been widely exhibited at festivals, museums and galleries internationally, including Sadie Coles HQ, Harlan Levey Project, WIELS centre for Contemporary Art, MAXXI–National Museum of 21st Century Art, BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts, Palazzo Strozzi, Festival Internacional de Cine Independiente de La Plata Buenos Aires, Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, Kunsthalle Wien, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Media City Film Festival, Viennale, FIDMarseille, Courtisane Film Festival, Vision du Réel, Punto de Vista, Anthology Film Archives and New York Film Festival, amongst others. She is co-founder of the production company elephy and her films are distributed by Light Cone.
