maker from Belgium. She holds a Master’s degree in Film
Directing from LUCA School of Arts Brussels. After directing
short documentaries, she expanded her practice into video
art and installation.
Working with moving image, CGI, archival material, photo-

Cité Internationale des Arts Paris. Her work has been pre-

DESCRIPTION
14:26 CEST is a poetic meditation on time and place, capturing the quiet rhythms of an Italian mountain village.
Immersing the viewer in a different temporal dimension, the film reveals a world where time unfolds cyclically, shaped by the grandeur of the surrounding landscape. Here, nothing is expected beyond what already exists; a continuum of pace, presence, and repetition.
Through presenting real-time paced observations—a wisp of smoke curling from a chimney, sheep grazing in the afternoon light—the film invites contemplation of stillness. Its central narrative echoes this sentiment: “Why not be like the mountains? Vast, content, and in their place. They are destined to look at the same scene forever, with nothing else to expect.”
