KAMERA CAHIER N° 5
Louise Crawford | Stéphan Guéneau
A special edition issue curated, designed and published by AVARIE, Paris and Labor Neunzehn, Berlin. It accompanies KAMERA SERIES, while it is an independent and valuable object to collect.
The central idea that informs and directs the booklets’ montage is the interplay between the concepts of addition and subtraction. This is achieved by unveiling a missing image in the screening or an unreleased second from an artist's film, expanded to 24 pages. Additionally, each booklet contains a piece directly removed from the show.
The editing establishes a dialogue between film frames and performed writings derived from texts, scripts, storyboards, and notes. The KAMERA exhibition is consequently extended into a physical space—the book—allowing for its widespread dissemination, complementing and contrasting with its potential online occurrence.
KAMERA SERIES is a screening program of experimental films, video art works and printed matter taking place in a former GDR building in Berlin.
Each event showcases a retrospective of selected films by an artist and a small exhibition of his/her publications or works on paper over a span of 4 days.
KAMERA centers on fostering a critical dialogue between different film formats and artists’ books. Through its regular occurrence, it aspires to create a space for community exchanges about contemporary image-making.

LOUISE CRAWFORD | STÉPHAN GUÉNEAU are a franco-british duo, living in Paris and Berlin. Their practice examines how personal and collective history and memory is represented by shifting between the realities they observe (using film, photography and other media) and the archival material they appropriate. This sampling and staging of the past to decode the present exposes at times the hidden processes of production, creating a visual database; factual, fragmentary and non-exhaustive.
A selection of their shows include: Shutter Hub, ARB Cambridge University, Cambridge; La Nuit Blanche, Paris; Monat der Fotografie Off, Berlin; Plateforms Project Independent Art Fair, Athens; Glasgow International Biennale, Glasgow; VVV Galerie, Buenos Aires.
Their films are internationally distributed by LIGHT CONE, Paris
