► Les mots jetés du train (Words thrown from the train)
In this media installation, artists Julian Hölscher, Jules Camille Huvig and composer Géraldine Kwik explore the mechanism of dehumanisation at work in the Royallieu camp. Both in a formal and emotional way, with care and respect to the departed, the piece shows the implication of the prisoners being reduced to mere numbers.
Direction: Julian HÖLSCHER & Jules Camille HUVIG
Original music: Géraldine KWIK
Video mapping created for the Video Mapping Festival organised by Rencontres Audiovisuelles.
With the support of the Hauts-de-France Region, DRAC Hauts-de-France, City of Compiègne and the Internment and Deportation Memorial – Royallieu Camp.
