Simone - Eva Giolo & Aglaia Konrad

Simone brings to the fore the work of the too little-known modernist architect Simone Guillissen-Hoa, one of the first female architects in Belgium to have her own office in the 1940s. The film is composed of a series of observations of the houses and buildings that she designed and of archival material that reveals the architect’s own gaze. It offers a visual analysis of the reoccurring particularities that informed her architecture, the distinctive parameters that shaped her artistic identity, and attempts to place her work in its historical context.

Aglaia Konrad is a photography-based artist whose work has focused mainly on metropolitan urban space. She was an advising researcher at the Jan Van Eyck Academy in Maastricht and now teaches at the Hogeschool Sint-Lukas in Brussels. Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions in several cities, worldwide, and in international group shows. Konrad is the author of three books: Desert Cities (2008), Carrara (2011) et From A to K (2016).

Eva Giolo is an artist working in film. Her work places particular focus on themes of intimacy, permanence and memory, along with the analysis of language and semiotics. Her films, installations and other projects have been widely exhibited at festivals, museums and galleries internationally. She is a founder of the production and distribution platform elephy. ​​​​​​​
