In Unfolding an Archive, Zoë Demoustier unfolds a visual 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 archive to life. She dismantles the mechanisms hidden behind the archive images. Gradually a choreography of poses and gestures emerges in a broken up timeline of physical memories.
