Ciel variable 107 - RUINS | Exhibition reviews
Authors: John K. Grande

A Handful of Dust is a show that has a mysterious point of departure that is as much about the ambiguities of art in photography as it is about the way art fuses, morphs, reinvents conceptions, how it is a process long before and after realization…

Ciel variable 107 - RUINS | Essays
Authors: Guillaume Lafleur | Artists: Emanuel Licha

December 22, 2020 [originally published in CV107 in Fall 2017] — Hotel Machine is a feature-length film in the current meaning of the term. It is Licha’s first production of this type, as he comes from the contemporary-art world and his work has usually been presented in galleries. It is related to the trend in documentary cinema that involves taking solid formal points of view – a trend that has been validated by following the traditional levers of funding.
