JACQUES PERCONTE: DIGITAL LANDSCAPES (10 & 11 JUN 2022): Programme #2 Perconte: digital landscapes at Close-Up (11 JUN 14:00).

“Perconte’s prolific and varied work – films, but also generative pieces, audiovisual performances, photographs, and installations – has been focusing on landscapes for more than fifteen years. He travels to specific places, be it in France, Scotland, or Madeira, and then wanders and roves around, filming and re-filming the same area, exploring the various natural elements, forest, sky, sea, birds, but also traces of human life inscribed in these territories. Then, with his highly sophisticated tools he re-works the digital flow and takes us on a journey into shapes, movements, colours, light, and texture, revealing intimate and unexpected aspects of a performed landscape, as well as unforeseen features of digital moving images. Perconte’s films are a poetic encounter between nature, culture, and digital technologies.”
