The video Plague by Puck Verkade is featured in the Biennale de l'Image Possible Chiroux Library, Liège, Belgium. The artwork explores the concept of solastalgia , a feeling of distress caused by the consequences of climate crises. Told by a fly who fantasizes about the extermination of man, the surrealist story creates strange analogies between the exploited Earth and the tormented psyche. The video, which presents itself as a collage of moving images and sounds juxtaposing different modes of animation, thus manages to link ecological and mental collapse.
The Biennale de l'Image Possible/BIP is an artistic event of international scope, based in Liège, which questions the nature of current images and the relationships we have with them. It explores the heterogeneity and porosity of the different regimes of contemporary image, in resonance with the issues that cross the world and society. The Biennale de l'Image Possible is a committed event which, from its territory and the present, opens up to elsewhere and the future. BIP's artistic programming brings together Belgian and international artists to present a wide selection of works composed of photographic series, videos, films, immersive plastic, sound and digital installations.
On view between 16 March - 1 June 2024.
