Furniture films is an installation of two film-loops which were hand-processed and printed by the artist in winter 2023. 

Filmed on 16mm reversal and negative colour film, Silent Conversations is a study of twenty-second sequences of embraces that unfolds as a series of time-based portraits. 

A staged performance for the camera, The Advantages of Lying on The Floor is a choreographed self-portrait of the artist in her apartment in Brussels. Meditating on ideologies of work, she explores notions of exhaustion, resistance and personal healing.  


 Eva Giolo (b.1991, Brussels) is an artist working in film, video and installation. Her work places particular focus on the female experience, employing experimental and documentary strategies to explore themes of intimacy, permanence and memory, along with the analysis of language and semiotics.
