In this online talk and workshop with Laure Prouvost we will re-learn, *dit learn, and de-learn together. We will explore the pixels of Laure’s world while questioning topics of installation, video and film, and how these mediums have unravelled within the French Pavillion in Venice. 

Participants will have the opportunity to make work independently throughout the day and explore subjects such as how Prouvost approaches language, distortion and narrative layering, their blending of reality and fiction within film and video, and their processes of transforming a work from its initial concept into final installation.

Dit learn is the title of one of Laure’s video works about learning and language. ‘Dit’ means ‘said’ in French.
