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.
Mauro Santini
*1965, Fano, Italy. Lives and works in Pesaro, Italy.
After having completed his studies Mauro Santini worked with graphic arts and photography. He has been making videos since 1993. His most recent work involves personal travel logs, without scripts, of voyages to interior dimensions linked to memory and the search for oneself. The viewer is the protaganist as the eye captures visions and souvenirs.
His videos have been shown at a number of international festivals (Locarno, Oberhausen, Montpellier, Rencontres Paris/Berlin, Jeonju etc…). With Da lontano, he took home the grand prize of the 2002 Torino Film Festival – Spazio Italia.
Saki Satom
*1969, Tokyo. Lives and works in London, UK.
Saki Satom makes drawings, videos and installations. She explores the behavioral norm and conventional wisdom, often focusing on codes and practices that tend to go largely unnoticed. The world she presents is, on the face of it, a deeply familiar one. But in each of her works she introduces a note of gratuity that calls everything around it into question.
Alli Savolainen
*1963, Joensuu, Finland. Lives and works in Espoo, Finland.
Born in Joensuu (Finland) in 1963, Alli Savolainen works with video, photograph, sound and painting. She graduated from Lahti Institute of Fine Arts 1989 and has been exhibiting her work since 1986. Her videos have been shown in many festivals in Finland and abroad.
Her latest installations deal with the themes of time, continuity and memory.
Fabio Scacchioli
*1979. Lives and works in Rome, Italy.
Fabio Scacchioli studied Communication Science in Perugia and Madrid and graduated with a thesis on the semiotics of experimental cinema. He studied and worked with Gianfranco Baruchello and Silvano Agosti, two of the most important Italian experimental filmmakers. His research focuses on the relationship between memory, perception and thought.

Alexander Schellow
*1974. Lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
Alexander Schellow’s practice involves the process of visual reconstruction from memory. In drawing a series of animations, installations, lectures, performances, book publications, he has collaborated based on this practice with scientists and artists in various fields.
Corinna Schnitt
*1964, Duisburg, Germany. Lives and works in Braunschweig, Germany.
Artist and film-maker, Corinna Schnitt has been involved in both the local German and international art worlds. After an understudy in wood sculpture, she studied at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach and at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. She has used the medium of film for her art creations for several years now. Corinna has created a series of experimental short films in which she pushes daily phenomena to the point of absurdity in showing them in as an endless loop, as we see in her film Raus aus seinen Kleidern. As well as being regular installations in museums and art galleries, Corinna's films have been shown at many festivals as well as on German television.
