"I force myself to contradict myself—so as not to follow my own taste." For over 30 years, no one has truly known the identity of the world-renowned street artist Banksy. A mysterious nanny turned out to be one of the greatest street photographers of our time. Duchamp shocked the world by placing a signed urinal in a gallery and drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa—his so-called “anti-art” exploded all previous definitions. And the pioneers of the Fluxus movement? They insisted they weren’t against art, but against pretense. So what is art? And what isn’t? Giloo presents 8 documentaries on radical artists who broke every rule to ask that very question. And perhaps, as Duchamp once said—everything is art.
Movement arises from the everyday—originating from the body. The relationship between body and daily life influences our emotions, perceptions, and connections with others. Through the lens of documentaries and the eyes of an observer, we revisit the messages often overlooked in our fast-paced lives. These films explore how the body shapes our sense of being, inviting us to reflect on different ways of living. "Memory of the Body – The Rhythm of Life Film Festival", co-curated by Cloud Gate Dance School and Giloo, invites you to rediscover the rhythm between body and life. Awaken your senses and reconnect with the essence of living.
