The Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève is proud to present a screening of video pieces by Robin Mognetti. Through his work, Mognetti gains a foothold in the “real”, without neglecting to search for a system, an apparatus adapted to each creation. He proposes with his video works a documentary approach reconditioned by a fictional language. Living as close as possible to his subjects, he seeks to create an experience, a relationship and to center their life and their privacy.

Sébastien Guiberti is trying to recover custody of his daughter Anastasia, after he unfairly lost it after being charged of fondling her by his ex-wife. Heartbroken and condemned, these charges devastate his life, where struggle (against disease and to be able to see his daughter) overshadow his daily life.
