Innovative Curatorial Projects – Paris / SingaporeLowave Collection
Lowave's film and video collection has been built between 2002 and 2014 and features over 250 video artists and filmmakers from around the world. The label has contributed to an important number of international exhibitions, biennials, film and video festivals, as well as academic programmes. As Lowave's activities evolve, we have stopped our film distribution and our catalogue serves now as an archive that documents over a decade of film and video art history. A selection of our DVDs is on sale at Re:Voir in Paris.

Massimilian Breeder and Nina Breeder collaborate in a series of films and performances focused on duality as a larger and more complex individual, profoundly connected and obstructed by the landscape. Their work together began and continue as a form of assisted procreation, occurring in isolate and motionless dioramas.
Robert Todd
*USA. Lives and works in Boston, USA.
Robert Todd first gained worldwide recognition as a painter. Since 1985 he has been teaching art in Boston. He has been making his own films since 1992. As a filmmaker interested in “non-fictional material poetry” he has produced a steady stream of short films that refuse being categorized. His work has been shown in several countries and has received a number of awards.
In his series of film poems, the filmmaker and artist confronts romantic notions of places and being against progressive social interests.

Sylvia Schedelbauer
*1973. Lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

At the crossroads of disparate cultures, she finds herself continually oscillating between different places of belonging while mediating inter-cultural relationships.
