Silvia Maglioni & Graeme Thomson
Artists and filmmakers Silvia Maglioni and Graeme Thomson are co-founders of Terminal Beach, a cross-media arts platform investigating new configurations of image, sound, text and spectatorship. Together, they have made films and photo-essays, sound and videoinstallations, solo and group exhibitions, performances, experimental radio shows as well as publishing numerous texts.
Facs of Life, their first feature film, draws on encounters with a number of former students of Gilles Deleuze, navigating between the terrains of documentary, fiction, essay and video art to explore aspects of Deleuze's philosophical legacy. The film received its world premiere at FID Marseille 2009, and has since been shown at numerous international festivals and art spaces including , BAFICI, JIHLAVA, Il Vento del Cinema, Ludwig Museum, TATE Britain, Fundação Clovis Salgado, Serralves Contemporary Art Museum and 16beaver. Redeploying elements of Facs of Life and its research archive, the duo have also created a series of exhibitions exploring the idea of 'exploded' cinema: Inarchivé – explosition d’un film, a dispersion of the film's components around the city of Marseille (Les Instants Vidéo in association with FID), blown up ! à la recherche des élèves de Gilles Deleuze, an 'eventwork' combining multimedia installation, dance, sound art, performance, lectures, screenings and discussions in a live spatial montage (Mains d’Oeuvres Art Centre, Paris) and twice torn from time, a four-screen installation of the film (UCSB gallery, Santa Barbara).
Together with Through the Letterbox, a high-definition 'refilming' of the video archive of Deleuze's seminar at Vincennes, and Wolkengestalt, considering September 11 and its aftermath through the prism of Goethe's meteorological diaries, their other films include Ghosts of Chance, The balade of Dèsastronaute #1 and Statues.
The duo are currently developing a new feature film, Girl from the Nouvelle Vague . They are also working in collaboration with a transnational group of artists and theorists on KAFKAMACHINE, the aim of which is to realize Félix Guattari’s project to make a film by Kafka.
