video installation
At the center of her work is the theme of Identity — with a focus on dreams and projections of a future that has sometimes already become the past. Her work moves along the narrow boundary between Memory and Invention.
Be Bab explores chance through experimental arrangements with video synthesizers: feedback loops with video cameras that create endless reflections of reflections, the suspension of real time through a play with time delay, the conversion into different color spaces, and the transformation of video into control voltage (CV). Analog video modules with sensors respond to sound and movement and convert these into voltage controls.
The end result is a video projection in which CV distortions and feedback loops transform the original image into a glitch video. Glitch in the sense of the faulty signal and the appropriation of the error. Video comes from the Latin — from videre, “I see”. In the video projection, the originally recorded reference image remains faintly visible. Through the control of parameters in analog video synthesizers, the video is no longer congruent with our perception. It is an experiment with chance in reception: the glitch video, the faulty signal, the glitch as a possibility of appropriating and reinterpreting perception — and of processing experiences that resist direct expression.
Be Bab (Béatrice Babin) is a visual artist, film editor, and Professor of Editing at HFF Munich (Chair of Montage & Audiovisual Storytelling). As a film editor she has collaborated with, among others, Wim Wenders, Emily Atef, and Markus Imhoof. Her audiovisual works have been shown in galleries, clubs, museums, theaters, and festivals. As a visual artist she works with analog video synthesizers, often in the field of live cinema and as a VJ. Be Bab is part of the duo SUUPERPOSE (Babin x Duchêne), the feminist art collective Trial-and-Theresa, and most recently the collective Chaosemblematic (Dance, Music and Live Visuals). She studied philosophy and film history at LMU Munich. She lives in Berlin and Munich.
