Artists participating in the Okayama Art Summit 2019, Fabien Giraud (France, 1980-) & Raphaёl Siboni (France, 1981-) conducted auditions for the parts in their film in Okayama on 29th and 30th of June.

Since 2014, they have been working on a long term, three-fold project articulating films, performances, and sculptures in an exploration of technological history as an apparatus for our uprooting. Recently, they have initiated “The Everted Capital”, the second part of this project and conceived as performative speculation on the future of value.

At the audition, 62 people acted parts of the project and answered questions from the artists. Successful candidates will perform in the film to be shot at the Former Uchisange Elementary School.

During their stay in Okayama, Giraud and Siboni visited Okayama Movie Library Centre. Under the guidance of the camera operator, they made a tour of the Centre to look for video equipment.
