Diego Marcon: Stories of Youth
Rencontre
Lafayette Anticipations9 rue du Platre 75004 PARIS Talk in french.
As part of Diego Marcon’s exhibition *Prom*, Stéphanie Moisdon, art critic, curator and co-director of the Consortium in Dijon, and Philippe Azoury, film critic, screenwriter and author, discuss the portrayal of youth in Diego Marcon’s work.
Through his films and installations, Diego Marcon portrays children and teenagers in ambiguous situations, where innocence rubs shoulders with anxiety, and where formal gentleness contrasts with the violence of the narratives. What does this say about our contemporary imaginations and our relationship with childhood, fiction and memory?
By combining critical perspectives with cinematic references, this discussion broadens the reflection to include other artistic and filmic works, in order to examine more broadly the way in which art and cinema portray figures of youth today.
