About the collage

Twenty-five FemLink artists were invited to create a video on the topic "Wonder". As with each new theme that FemLink proposes, artists are entirely free to interpret the theme as they wish. Their only instruction is to answer the question, ‘What does this topic mean for you?’.

"Wonder" presents a re-examination of the word and its possible interpretations from an artistic perspective which can reveal or glorify that which can escape us in the reality. What emerges from the 25 videos of the "collage", it is that the wonderful fact is not wonderful in itself; rather, it is wonderful as it relates to its context of reality. The videos propose to us a "Wonder" which applies this relation to a reality whatever it is: the most ordinary and the most short-lived.

About FemLink

In 2005, two artists, C.M. Judge (US) and Véronique Sapin (FR) decided to create common art-works which can include women-artists from everywhere in the world. Both, they had the same questions about how they can help women artists who live outside Europe and USA and who have difficulties to create, promote, distribute, exhibit and screen their art work.
They launched FemLink just with this utopian idea to build a link throughout the world between women video artists and their work.
The principle is simple: one artist / one country create a short video for FemLink (2 min. maximum) around a common topic.
