de Pascal Nordmann
Intitulée After Glory

addresses the descendants of the survivors and questions the trace and weight of blood and terror, asking the question of how much the shadow of history can haunt the future and whether it can go so far as to turn victims into persecutor.

 

ARTISTIC DIRECTION & CURATORSHIP

Emeline CUSIN, Cultural project manager and publisher &| Margalit BERRIET, Founding – Mémoire de l’Avenir Liwei XU, art history researcher

In a celebration of colors, sounds, and movements, through a series of 156 images in homage to Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, and Paul Klee, Pascal Nordmann stages the memory of disaster to offer it, in a gesture of defiance, to the proponents of eternal recurrence, national glories, and misguided old beliefs.

The three parts represent three facets of a work on the same event of the 20th century: the German genocide perpetrated against European Jews. (1st part – see HERE)

Each facet, built around a central point, includes an exhibition of 52 images, a short film of 18 minutes, and a 64-page booklet from Editions de la Fondation Auer, containing text and images.

“It’s not about showing the unspeakable or making a documentary. Do not expect to find images of the unspeakable. The aim is to mourn, to meditate, even to pray, everything that, in a work of memory, accompanies the memory to make it bearable or at least to make it seem as if it could be bearable.”

In her studies and creative research, she focuses on one subject: how the war, the destruction, and the terror of the Nazi regime affected subsequent generations, including herself, who cannot escape this heritage.

Graduated in Comparative Literature, Film Studies, and Political Science, Prechtel has written for newspapers, worked for radio and TV, and authored a book.

She is also the author and director of several short and long documentaries that have been released on TV, in cinemas, and at international film festivals.

Directors Note
Kim, Tom, Lore. Three ways to cope with the monstrosity of our history. Lore, who survived by not remembering – Tom, whom the burden of history cost his life – Kim, who confronts the memory she suffers from. Life in all its dimensions.
