À travers Jesper Just, explorez l’univers filmique envoûtant d’un artiste où images, sons et musique s’entremêlent pour créer une poésie visuelle troublante.

In his film work, Jesper Just links images of an exceptional qua­lity to sound and music. Enigmas disrupt the narrative, creating a poetry-liberating tension. The artist leaves spectators with their own doubts and emotions. The work conceived for the Palais de Tokyo consists of an audiovisual installation and a spatial inter­vention, which transforms both the space and the visitor's journey. The One World Trade Center, an iconic and controversial skyscra­per, is as much the scene of the films, as a character in itself. It functions as a phantom limb, while also standing for resilience. The films follow two characters: a young girl, who is not an individual but embodies the ideals of youth and feminity conveyed today, and a disabled child. The characters mirror, oppose and interact, to explore themes of ableism and agency as well as the boundaries of body and selfhood.
