OPENING NIGHT WITH ELISABETH SUBRIN / ARTIST TALK

In How We Find Her, artist and filmmaker Elisabeth Subrin brings together a body of research and work related to the figure of French actress Maria Schneider (1952–2011): The Listening Takes (2023-2025), Manal Issa, 2024 (2025), Sweet Ruin (2008) and For Maria (2019). A long-term investigation into the resonant challenges and possibilities of depicting a subject, this series of projects deploy a wide range of strategies to explore the complex problems and possibilities of biography, making a case for subjectivity, multiplicity, and cross-historical, cross-genre forms and identities.

On the occasion of the opening of her first solo exhibition in Belgium, Subrin will give an artist talk diving into a myriad of topics brought forth by these aforementioned works, whilst contextualizing them within her rich artistic practice of the past three decades.
