Join us on November 16 & 17 at the Le Laetitia and L'Ellipse cinemas in Ajaccio, Corsica for a program conceived as an extension of the FRAC Corsica exhibition currently on display in our Corti galleries. La Seconde Vie des Images en mouvement (The Second Life of Moving Images), is an event dedicated to the practice of found footage, which involves repurposing cinema and television images as well as reinterpreting mass-shared internet videos and numerous archives. This unlimited access is a direct expression of a world where the attention economy has become an increasingly prominent part of our activities.
