For this dv_vd, a collaboration between Vidéographe and Dazibao, we present an overview of the retrospective program marking the 10th anniversary of the Oodaaq Festival

To celebrate the tenth edition of the festival, L'Œil d'Oodaaq has produced a retrospective selection of 10 video works. This sample of a decade of programming retraces a set of themes traversed from a selection of works by international artists. It is an exciting adventure that allows us to explore an infinite number of forms and ways of approaching images that we call “nomadic and poetic”.

During these years, we have promoted fragile and intense images by imagining surprising contexts of presentation, thus materializing an imaginary island as a territory of display.

This program of 10 videos brings together works and perspectives of artists across the world from 2009 to 2019 all acting as reflections of art and the world by illuminating the invisible.

The selection for Four Seasons breaks one of our rules: to carefully consider the context in which the works are presented. To mark the 10th anniversary of the Festival, we wanted to create an immense cloud of images that together form a beam of light tracing the topography of Oodaaq Island.

This program evokes the infinite succession of the cycle of the seasons, while each of the works, associated in a subjective way to a precise moment of the year, also reflects our artistic line.

We propose you to fly over our seasons.
