For several years, dozens of workers from Quebec emigrated to New Caledonia (French collectivity, Pacific) to work in the mining sector. At the same time, dozens of students from New Caledonia came to Quebec to get trained in the Cégeps of northern Quebec. While some of these people stayed in the host country and others returned to their home country. This video installation elucidates the heart of these intertwined human migrations. Within this collection of shared memories related to the feeling of belonging and the sensation of “at home”, the installation interrogates the mobility and permeability of identity boundaries and the possibility to feel “belonging together” through our respective origins.

Through experimentations in sound, camera movement and distortion, this work foreshadows the loss of innocence inherent in looming adulthood.

Blue for a Moment is a documentary portrait of Swedish-born, Berlin-based musician Sven-Åke Johansson, a key figure in European improvised and experimental music. Active as a jazz drummer, composer, poet and visual artist, Johansson has spent decades challenging artistic conventions and genre boundaries. Born in 1943, he moved to Berlin in the late 1960s and became involved in the city’s experimental scene, including the Zodiak Free Arts Lab. During the 1970s and 1980s he played an important role in the West Berlin free jazz movement around the FMP/SÅJ label, collaborating with musicians such as Alexander von Schlippenbach and Rüdiger Carl. Influenced by Fluxus and modernist traditions, Johansson developed a distinctive approach based on noise, reduction and the use of everyday materials, anticipating the Echtzeitmusik scene that emerged in Berlin after 1990. The film explores his creative process, artistic philosophy and lasting impact on contemporary experimental music.
