Elise Florenty & Marcel Türkowsky. Since the beginning of their collaboration in 2005 Elise Florenty - with a background in visual arts and film - and Marcel Türkowsky - with a background in philosophy, ethnomusicology and, later, visual art – have shared their passion for the power of language through songs, writing and instructions. These elements are assembled in the form of film, video, installations and complex multimedia exhibitions, in an imaginary state that blends buried stories from the places where their research is concentrated, with a taste for a performative ritual and mythical and symbolic visual evocations. The viewer finds himself in spaces inhabited by simple devices, sounds and images that are one minute perturbing and the next seductive, overlapping in inexplicable layers that allude to mysterious subterranean laws that suggest regulation. Their films and, in particular, the acclaimed Holy Time in Eternity Holy Eternity In Time (2011), were screened at major festivals, the Torino Film Festival, the DOCLisboa and the FIDMarseille. They have had solo exhibitions at La Synagogue art center, Delme, Le Plateau, Paris (2012), Centre d'art contemporain/Passages di Troyes, Kinderhook&Caracas in Berlin, presented works at the festival Hors Pistes at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and had residencies in Capacete (Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo) and Izolyatsia-Donetsk.
