The idea of the Archives des invisibles has accompanied Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige for a long time. It has been nourished by their attention to what escapes, to what remains off-frame, to images that are missing, buried or forgotten.
The project turns to the images that artists and filmmakers still carry within them: shots that were filmed but never found their place in a film, yet remain alive in their memory. What becomes of these images, these faces, these landscapes, filmed, loved, then set aside? What could emerge if these images were shared and brought together?
Each artist and filmmaker is invited to reveal unreleased sequences and accompany them with a testimony. Together, these fragments draw a sensitive, polyphonic map: a living archive, in constant construction.
