Jade de Cock is a researcher and curator in moving-image. Passionate about the contemporary exchanges between the cinema industry and artists’ moving-image, she is a PhD student at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and junior curator for Videoart at Midnight, a Berlin-based artistic moving-image project founded by Olaf Stüber and Ivo Wessel. The screening series aims to develop new insights on film/video art by presenting artists’ works on the monumental screen of the Babylon Kino. Drawing from her curation practice, her research interests are focused on the moving-image narrative in the gap between video art and industrial cinema aesthetics, reception and production contexts. Graduated with Master’s in Philosophy and Literature in Brussels and in Cultural Management at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, she now investigates artists’ cinema narratology in the works of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Ben Rivers and Albert Serra.

Pilar Mata Dupont is an Argentinean Australian artist currently based between Perth and Rotterdam. Her practice encompasses video, photography, and performance.

Notions of longing, ‘in-betweeness’, and the fallibility of memory also form part of her research concerns.
