HOOT nr. 2 — Liv Schulman

Gufo ed., Clément Faydit ed., Rozenn Voyer ed.

€8.00

Nous avons rencontré Liv par écrans interposés, en regardant un épisode de la mini-série « Que Faire ? ». Des phrases en sous titre se collaient à nos pupilles et se fixaient quelque part dans nos souvenirs. Le sous-titrage, comme la transcription d’une conversation, sont deux manières textuelles de traduire des paroles, des oralités, des environnements et des atmosphères. Le sous-titrage est le plus souvent synchrone avec le dialogue, au bas de l’écran ou parfois, comme au Japon, sur le côté. Les transcriptions que vous vous apprêtez à lire, elles, ont déjà eu lieu mais nous pensons que votre lecture les raviveront. Ces textes de paroles traduites s’accompagnent d’images-souvenirs. On se remémore, on oublie et puis on retrouve des archives. On essaie alors d’assembler les éléments, et avec ceux qui manquent, on invente. Parler avec Liv afin de tenter de saisir les silences et les mécaniques spéculatives laissés après la lecture des sous-titres de ses vidéos. Que faire ou plutôt ... comment faire avec ces phrases engluées qui ressurgissent parfois ? « Creativity is the unbearable desire. Is the everyday’s expression of failure » / « It’s not frustration that is revolutionary. It is revolutionarities that get frustrated ».

HOOT nr. 3 — Kamilé Krasauskaité

Gufo, Clément Faydit and 1 more

Last year, on a summer night in Marseille, someone, within all the hungry people I am meeting during my dinners, specifically set her attention on my projects. Later during the fall I received a call from Austė ZDANČIŪTĖ, the cultural attache at the Lithuanian embassy in France, who introduced me to Kamilè Krasauskaitè. Since that fall, we kept on exchanging and making future plans in France where she would have a residency. The more we chatted, the closest we began. Kamilè is a almost-thirty-years-old Lithuanian artist that has been including sourdough bread in her work and builds a poetic and mesmerising world around that dimension of food, fermentation, senses, environment, rituals...Through our communication I decided to share that encounter that we managed to welcome in Marseille. We kneaded some bread together, shared it in a forest of Marseillais sunflowers, walked the streets, met people, questioned and compared artists' lives in Europe. This issue might be an excerpt of all the long conversations we had, it was hot and sunny in Marseille, it was in June.

HOOT nr. 5 — Grégoire Devidal

Rozenn Voyer, Clément Faydit and 1 more

Cet été j’ai rappelé un ami, Grégoire Devidal, pour lui demander de ses nouvelles depuis que nous sommes chacun·e parti·e d’Amsterdam où nous y avons partagé quelques années. Il m’a parlé d’un projet de podcasts avec Agathe Boulanger et Gwendal Raymond.

Ayant partagé des moments de vie, de création, de tension, de doutes et beaucoup de moments de travail, il m’est apparu comme une nécessité de proposer ce nouveau numéro de HOOT à ces trois artistes. La parole et l’écriture sont au centre de leur pratique et de leurs recherches. Je leur ai alors confié mon questionnaire habituel pour m’effacer de la trame de ces conversations et laisser place à une nouvelle forme de dialogue : celui qu'iels se partagent sans que je ne les écoute, sans que je n'intervienne. Iels parlent entre-elleux, se questionnent et se meuvent comme autant d’échos infinis sur des parois fluides. Leurs échanges m’ont évoqué ceux des personnages des Vagues de Virginia Woolf dans la manière dont ils s'interpénètrent, dont l’identité des orateur·rice·s valse et les échanges se relaient plutôt que se répondent.

HOOT nr. 9 — Moyra Davey & Sophie T. Lvoff

Sophie T. Lvoff, Moyra Davey

Periodicals €12.00

The 9th HOOT pops up for the winter 2022-23, but the conception of this issue started well over a year ago at our beloved Plage Avant (Traduttore, traditore’s studio, Marseille). 

We met Sophie T. Lvoff at many openings and art related events in Marseille these last few years, having a practice that appears mainly as photography, Gufo got curious about all the processes that she uses which involve sound, installation, writing… and more. She welcomed us in her studio of the city of Marseille where she recently settled.

We found out about the “trompe-l’œil” of this iconic checkered table, witnessed the installations of translucid and colored objects evolving on the sunny wall, and looked through her photographic chamber it’s called a large-format camera, but this is funny… For this issue, Sophie suggested to interview another artist, Moyra Davey, who also works in photography and writing, and appeared to have shared experiences too.

The topics of everyday life, intimacy that images embody in both their works, take another dimension as soon as their thoughts, voices and writing expand and express the entirety of their gestures.

This issue is the first interview between two native English-speaking artists, who have ties to the French language from childhood.

The penpals are the main characters of that encounter where we are very welcome to join in their very generous conversations. This is only an excerpt of a long and well referenced correspondence.

TYPP #8 — Blind Spot

Zeynep Kubat

Periodicals €12.00

The human eye is designed with a flaw that is common to all other vertebrates: we have a blind spot, the punctum caecum, a small patch on the inside of our boisterous orbs of vision with no photoreceptors. A blind spot can also be psychological or social. We tend to be biased towards situations or people we cannot fully ‘see through’. How can we enlighten our blind spots? What kind of artistic practices can inspire new readings of history, art, music, or even politics?

With contributions by Bent Vande Sompele, Pierre-Antoine Vettorello & Stella Nyanchama Okemwa, and Haseeb Ahmed.  Design by Ward Heirwegh. Chief Editor: Zeynep Kubat. Editorial Board: Mekhitar Garabedian, Caroline Dumalin, Saskia Van der Gucht, Paul Hendrikse.
