From 4 to 30 May 2016, Casino Luxembourg is exhibiting "Blackbox", a collaborative video project by Karolina Markiewicz and Pascal Piron.
Luxembourg-born director Karolina Markiewicz and artist and film-maker Pascal Piron first began collaborating in 2013 with an exhibition for Aice Luxembourg entitled "Everybody should have the right to die in an expensive car". In 2014 they created their first documentary "Les Formidables" with €220,000 from Film Fund Luxembourg, which tells the story of five young migrants in Luxembourg, whilst their exhibition "Some people laughed, some people cried, most people were silent", created alongside Eric Schockmel dedicated to the atomic bomb and its consequences, was shown at Neimënster in September 2015.
Their latest work "Blackbox" combines cinema, visual arts and theatre into a film projection with the individual person as part of a human community at the centre.
At 19:00 on Thursday 26 May 2016, Casino Luxembourg will be holding "BlackThursday", an opportunity to meet with director and artist Silvia Costa, writer Mathieu Simonet, and journalist, art critic and founder of the magazine "Mouvement", Jean-Marc Adolphe. To register, contact +352 26 27 02 79 or cafesino@casino-luxembourg.lu.
From 4 to 30 May 2016, a selection of videos from video blog kulturstruktur.com, set up by Karolina Markiewicz and Pascal Piron in 2014, will be presented in the ChannelBox in Casino Luxembourg alongside the exhibition, featuring: Svetlana Alexievich, Belarusian journalist, 2015 Nobel Prize for Literature winner and author of "Voices from Chernobyl"; Pol Cruchten, Luxembourg director; and Jean Quatremer, French journalist with Libération, Paris.
