HOOT nr. 4 — The Soft Protest Digest

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

€8.00

The Soft Protest Digest centre ses recherches sur l'histoire de l'alimentation, de l'agriculture et des liens sociaux et politiques qui constituent une culture alimentaire. Le collectif croit en l'utilisation de la narration comme moyen de créer ou d'adapter des traditions alimentaires, des recettes et des façons de se nourrir qui tiennent compte de l'héritage culturel et des liens émotionnels entre celleux qui mangent et la gastronomie locale, dans une quête de résilience alimentaire.

Gufo a souhaité rencontrer les membres de ce collectif afin d’explorer les nécessités alimentaires dans lesquelles s’inscrit The Soft Protest Digest. Et puis, très vite, une intrigue s’est créée autour du nom de ce collectif : qu’est-ce qu’une douce manifestation ? Quels sont les liens avec l’alimentation ? Pouvons-nous doucement contester ? C’est-à-dire sans frustration ni violence ? Ce nom a fait écho à une édition dont j’ai imprimé le titre il y a quelque temps, il s’agit de “Radical softness as a boundless form of resistance”* ( dont la traduction pourrait être Une douceur radicale comme forme infinie de résistance). Pouvons-nous associer douceur, résistance, radicalité et alimentation ? Gufo vous invite alors, à lire nos conversations qui divaguent mais surtout à imaginer des banquets partagés dont la joie et les ventres pleins seront les témoins d’onctueuses révoltes.

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.

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.

To wilt tears for an infatuation who has no name of their own. To weep rain like a sentence that passes through the unrequited glimpse. Language is the instrument of our shivers; literature the wink that slips into a wince.

Out of profane necessity we dress the missing words for each circumstance in ecstatic deprivation. Anticipation and alienation. Shock and sorrow. Craving and cruelty. Elation and tension. Emotion is the borrowed absence of transferred meaning: the sensuous "legs" of a table and the sunrise that falls-in-shadow upon the "foot" of a bed. Quintilian's "thirsty" crops that have neither tongue nor throat. Barthes' compassed "wings" of a house. Augustine's "piscina" in which no fish are to be found (and only humans drown). With delirium we endure, and delight in, the abuse of our sensibilities by the sadistic literalization of metaphor.
