French-Finnish dialogue between video-artists CONVERSATIONS is a collection of eight videoworks in which works by Pascal Lièvre (France) and Minna Suoniemi (Finland) interreact with each other. The video-artists exchange views at the intersection of popular and contemporary art. New questions stem up dealing with the status of figures and the meaning of culture. Pascal Lièvre describes unlikely discussions and meetings: the psychanalyst, Jacques Lacan, discussing with Dalida, the singer-star from 50’s-80’s, the war declarations of Bush communicate with love-declarations. Video-artist, painter or performer, Pascal Lièvre’s works show the political and artistic history of our society. Minna Suoniemi's work focuses on basic human emotions, relations between people and people’s actions determined by their role in a given situation and environment. Her work plays with identification, blended with a shared sense of confusion. The crossing point of personal and collective experiences is at the centre of her approach.
