    Signers Koffer (Signer's Suitcase) is a kind of road movie that takes us right across Europe. From the Swiss Alps to eastern Poland, from Stromboli to Iceland. Always following the magically charged "groove" of the landscape. A wide-ranging attempt to find the ideal travelling speed. Roman Signer uses his very personal bag of tricks to mark the stations along the way: strikingly simple operations brimming with subtle humour. But the film is also a journey through mental states. A tightrope walk between whimsy and melancholy. Danger - both physical and psychological - becomes a stimulus to the senses. Sudden plunges, abrupt mood changes shape the rhythm and atmosphere of this cinematic journey.

  • the manifesto of a depressive state that has little to do with melancholy, but rather an (in)capacity to experience the emotion that is needed to give life a meaning, an alternative to the nihilism of those who experience it as a sluggish flow of time and events, something more fertile than the senselessness of being forced to repeat individual gestures or take part in group rituals.

  • Like the protagonists of her work, the artist stands at the margins of a psychogeographic, pithy tale through which one moves with dumbfounded sensuality, apparently unaware of the fact that actions in space, in context, say much more than faces and postures.
  • More than a voyeur, Hilary Lloyd is an accomplice of the people in the situations she recreates in her work: a director, manipulator, a storyteller in intervals, whose tale is indirectly sung and captured, put into motion by the characters and settings that are chosen.
  • n artist who has always – through these kinds of prior events, and technical choices that reveal the presence of her hand – insisted on managing the work from the inside, as if it were part of a murmured conversation with herself that is then allowed to flow outward, telling us that the appearance of things, of events, already offers a glimpse their essence, their hazy, yet palpable substance
  • “I’ve created various personalities within. I constantly create personalities. Each of my dreams, as soon as I start dreaming it, is immediately incarnated in another person, who is then the one dreaming it, and not I. To create, I’ve destroyed myself. I’ve so externalized myself on the inside that I don’t exist there except externally. I’m the empty stage where various actors act out various plays”.
