Ariane Loze is a belgian video artist and performer. She studied theatre direction at the RITCS Brussels, and took part in a.PASS (Advanced Performance And Scenography Studies) in Brussels. She is laureate of the HISK (Higher Institute for Fine Arts Ghent) in 2016-17.
Ariane Loze researches the coming to life of a story out of seemingly unrelated images with her camera. Since 2008, she develops a body of video work in which she performs all characters : she is at the same time the actress, the camerawoman and the director. Through the editing of the images she develops a relation between two (or more) characters and the architecture. The videos of Ariane Loze put the spectator in the active role of creating his/her own story out of the basic principles of film editing: shot and counter-shot, the presumed continuity of movement, and the psychological suggestion of a narrative.
The filming of these videos has been made public as a ongoing performance.
Performance at Palais des Beaux-Arts, September 2009
