Unfolding an Archive

Zoë unfolds an image archive of 20 years of war reporting. The man behind the camera is her father Daniel Demoustier. The search for a relationship with the visual world of world events with which she grew up is like a movement from far and near. In an attempt at a reconstruction, she brings the image archive to life. She dismantles the mechanisms behind the images captured by her father and makes a critical intervention. Who owns this history? Who is represented? Gradually a choreography of poses and gestures emerges in a broken up timeline of physical memories.
