INTERVIEW Lunis Vogt
PUBLISHED 5 AUG 26
With the contribution DIRT, Toucherdesyeux brings together sounds and videos from the past three years to create an interwoven work that explores different archives, temporalities, and forms of existence.
// What is your artistic background, and how does it influence the way you approach art?
My background is in filmmaking and visual arts, but I often work beyond conventional cinema. I approach art as a process of collecting and reactivating archives.
// What is your favorite medium to create art?
Video is my primary medium because it allows me to combine moving images, sound, and archival material. I am particularly interested in assembling images collected over long periods of time into new visual narratives.
// What does entanglement mean to you?
Entanglement is the way memories, bodies, places, and histories remain connected even when they appear separate. Archives reveal these hidden relationships.
// What is your contribution to SEE DJERBA 2026, and how is it connected to this year’s theme, Akros?
My video DIRT brings together images and sounds gathered over three years, creating connections between earth, the human body, and invisible radio transmissions. The work reflects Akros through the intertwining of different archives, times, and forms of existence.
// What do you hope visitors experience when they encounter your work?
I hope visitors experience a sense of attention and curiosity toward what usually remains unseen. I want them to reflect on how archives can transform our understanding of the present.
// What are you most curious about at the moment and how do different topics effect future projects?
I am currently curious about the relationship between archives, ecology, and invisible infrastructures. These questions continue to shape future projects by opening new ways of connecting personal and collective histories.
