TIME is Love Screening is an international video
art project gathering several artists. Established in 2008, the program has
traveled to major cities in the world attracting a vibrant mix of media
professionals, researchers, young people and families.
The selected artists lead an
interdisciplinary practice bringing a questioning and a criticism on a system
of relation to others which appears to us as being dying. Each of the presented
movies scrutinizes with attention the vestiges of these human connections which
it is today necessary to reactivate and to resuscitate. Videos deal with
prevented communications, globalization, disturbed feelings, spirituality,
memories, and sensory abstractions.
Taking these ambivalent feelings as a starting point, the artists develop their own language according to their sensibility and history. By means of performances, the artists proceed each to their way with various second readings of the social habits, the contradictions and the impossibilities owed to the current world. So, codes are deconstructed, diverted and criticized for the benefit of an awareness of a visible individualism.

TIME is Love Screening strives to avert the gaze
towards more essential values so that time can rhyme with that of the love, the
gathering and the let go. Love as universal feeling extricates itself here from
traditional clichés and from a timeless idealism. It is declined and translated
with depth and intensity, just like the complexity of mankind.
TIME is Love Screening brings to the world a
refreshing perspective on video art.
