Alexandra Moralesová was born to Czech mother and Argentinian father. She studied at the Centre of Audiovisual Studies at Film Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (FAMU). Beyond the inspiration by the practices of experimental film, she’s mainly interested in remediation of found footage and found objects. Through various ways of viewing it, those objects represent for her its own possibility of de/construction in order to cross the frontier between analog and digital media and so disrupt the spectacle and alternate existing narratives. It’s been several years that she explores the post-production tools as for example the editing table or film viewers. The output of her works is often a performance, film screening or installation.
Georgy Bagdasarov was born in Armenian family to the sounds of rockets taking off into space from Kazakhstan. He never boarded any of those rockets and spent all his life living in various locations throughout Eurasia. Now he lives and works in Prague. His work explores the space between analog and digital, merging them together. His works are created under strong influence of structural films, cooking recipes and syntax of computer codes. He combines different media: digital and film stock as well as music and food.
Labodoble infinito is a permanent situation of an open experimentation in the cinematic area. We are interested in sustainable processes and tools that remain available even at the digital twilight. We investigate the film field that comprises not only the filming itself (exposition) but also the photo-chemical phase of revealing the image and the situation of the projection. We organize workshops of film development, of handmade film and of the projection in the sense of expanded cinema. We deal with the Super or Normal 8mm and 16mm film stock and from times to times also with the digital video signal. We try to be the most mobile as possible to acquire and spread the knowledge of film processes. During our trips we also hope to find new celluloid friends and colleagues. If we’re not on the way, we are based in Prague, the mummy with claws!
