Filters: Life as in a Film

This work stages an open discussion between artist Gwenola Wagon, philosopher Pierre Cassou-Noguès, and Marie, the character who represents them both in their film Virusland 2020. The film, a diary of the lockdown in France during the first year of the pandemic, is composed of found footage and videoconference recordings. The two authors—or rather, the three figures involved in this discussion—reflect on the role of filters as multipliers of personality and on the new forms of bodily experience that digital dispositifs bring into being.
