Ayvalık, April – May 2021

Dr. Côme Ledésert (b. 1989) is a filmmaker, holder of two Master degrees in Urban Studies at Sciences Po, Paris, France and in Visual and Media Anthropology at Freie Universität, Berlin, Germany. Intercutting animation with documentary footage, his film “Persisting Dreams” (2015, 25′) premiered at the World Film Festival (Canada), won 4 awards and was selected in over 40 film festivals. He recently completed his PhD in artistic research from the University of Westminster, London, UK, under the supervision of Professor Joshua Oppenheimer, Oscar-nominated filmmaker (The Act of Killing, The Look of Silence). His research interests are interdisciplinary, at the intersection of Film and Performance Studies, Philosophy, Psychiatry and Anthropology. He is a practitioner of art/science research, experimenting new models of working dealing with performative nonfiction filmmaking strategies, mental health narratives and long durational performance art. His first feature-length nonfiction film “Just for Today” (2020, 85’) is currently in post-production.

Virginia Mastrogiannaki Until today, the body of her work has dealt with the concepts of the duration, limit, the error, the unnecessary, both in relations between herself and materials, but also in terms of social relationships. The idea of effort and repetition appear in her work repeatedly. One may encounter an essay of strength and durability of the materiality whether in inanimate things, or even other people. Continuous tests of endurance and tolerance.

Yiannis Pappas (b.1978, Patmos GR) is a visual and performance artist based in Berlin. Underscored by a critical interest in space and the human body, as sites of physical and symbolic enactment, his artistic work and research explore how different places are sustained collectively and individually throughout history. He has participated in widespread international exhibitions.
