Florinda Ciucio (Antwerp, 1993) is a visual artist and film-
maker from Belgium. She holds a Master’s degree in Film
Directing from LUCA School of Arts Brussels. After directing
short documentaries, she expanded her practice into video
art and installation.
Working with moving image, CGI, archival material, photo-
graphy and sound, her practice explores how technology and
images shape our perception of reality. Her works often fo-
cus on landscapes, memory and digital media, questioning
the distance between what is real and what is constructed,
projected or imagined.
Her work has been supported by the Flanders Department
of Culture and Arts, VOCATIO and the Flanders Film Fund,
and developed through residencies at Viafarini Milan and
Cité Internationale des Arts Paris. Her work has been pre-
sented internationally, including at LOOP Barcelona, Noor-
derlicht Biennale, Be-Part Kortrijk, Castel Belasi and Espace
Vanderborght Brussels.

FLORINDA CIUCIOTHE MEMORY MACHINE
THE MEMORY MACHINE
2025, 25’, two screen video installation
in collaboration with Joëlle Dubois
Supported by Flanders State of Arts
DESCRIPTION
THE MEMORY MACHINE was made in collaboration with
Joëlle Dubois and deals with grief following the loss of her
mother to Alzheimer’s.
The work consists of two screens exploring different for-
ms of remembering. One approaches memory as a bodily
experience, with Joëlle performing repetitive, ritualistic
actions that become a desperate attempt to reach so-
mething beyond or within. Her diary notes from caring for
her mother become a mantra-like sound, drifting between
meditation, trance and chant.
The second screen explores memory as an unstable and
continues reconstruction, bringing together home video,
associative images, recent footage and media fragments
within a brown-noise soundscape.
The installation constructs a speculative language of mour-
ning that continually reshapes through emotion, techno-
logy and the body itself, opening space for more diverse
forms of knowledge and connection.
