Velvet
–
Vanessa Safavi (*1980) lives and works between Berlin and Fribourg. The film Velvetproduced in 2018-19 with a soundtrack by Ariel Garcia is presented for the first time to the public. Velvet offers an immersion in a small Indian company specialized in the manufacture of latex gloves. Physical and symbolic bodies meet in the industry space, questioning with poetry the identity of the contemporary body and its allegiance to technological optimization.
Velvet is co-produced by Friart Kunsthalle and Etat de Fribourg.
