Camille Pueyo – Destierro, 3:18, 2019



 

 

A video made from VHS family movies shot by the artist’s father at his parent’s place and on Argelès beach. The voice of the Spanish grandfather sharing his experience of republican exile and civil war meet the voice of the father about his own experience of being the son of Spanish refugees. The dialogue between past and present gives to see a transgenerational film about the trauma of war and the intimate consequences of exile.

 

 

Camille Pueyo

Born in 1988 in France, they graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Cinema and a Master’s degree in Plastic Arts, during which they began their artistic research around the notion of memory and haunted images. Their practice, located on the border between video art and documentary, questions the porosity between the intimate and the public.
