Karolina Markiewicz & Pascal Piron – Stronger than memory and weaker than dewdrops

About

Stronger than memory and weaker than dewdrops, a multimedia exhibition by Karolina Markiewicz and Pascal Piron. It is based on and merges with contemporary poetry to express current affairs in the world, and its history and myths. Myths and abstraction here represent a parallel world through which we can explain even the most impactful stories and facts to ourselves. A world in which we feel and which perhaps allows us to be part of a human community.

Karolina Markiewicz and Pascal Piron’s collaborative work since 2013 creates links between film, visual arts and theatre. The individual person at the centre is part of a human community, oscillating between resignation and hope.

Karolina Markiewicz studied political science, philosophy and theatre and works as an artist, a film and a theatre director. Pascal Piron studied visual arts and works as an artist and film director. Both also work as teachers with high school students with an immigrant background or in exile. Karolina also teaches at the University of Lorraine. Their artistic work ranges from documentary and fictional cinema to virtual reality films, from writing, painting, photography, and theatre and performance. The artistic techniques used are essential and vary according to the topics covered and the stories told.
