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.

Katia Kameli
*1973, Clermont-Ferrand, France. Lives and works in Paris, France.
Katia Kameli’s work explores the idea of displacement through installation, sculpture, photography and video. Travelling, moving between different worlds, associating reference points and mixing categories: “nomadism, her work is about switching between different modes of thinking”.

Kazumi Kanemaki studied film and video art at the College of Santa Fe, New Mexico (US) from 1994 to 1996, and worked as an intern at Miditech Films, an Indian documentary production in New Delhi.

Yuki Kawamura
*1979, Sapporo, Japan. Lives and works in Paris.
A video artist strongly influenced by his own Japanese culture, Yuki Kawaruma’s work is characterized by its purist and minimalist approach that nevertheless comes across as both poetic and dreamlike. Fragile and luminous images are interweaved in the search for memory and eternal unfading beauty.
