Tuesday brings, through superimposition effects, a set of unpublished dialogues between two excerpts from the same film fragment of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. It is composed of 237 variations in reference to the room number that catches the attention of Dany (Dany Lloyd), the son of Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), and precipitate the new appear of the murdered twins into the film.
With variable durations ranging from a few seconds to several minutes, each of the 237 fragments is based on an ever-changing setting of two confronted excerpts. The visual and sonic articulation, renewed for nearly four hours as the film unfolds, constitutes Tuesday’s main aesthetic concept.

Founded in 1991 in Geneva by Barbara Polla, Analix Forever is an independent art space, where images (still and moving), poetry, drawings, music and performance art freely bloom. It has been promoting video art through gallery and institutional exhibitions, series of talks and video shows entitled “Video Forever” that travelled the world, and its annual video award to first year students of Le Fresnoy (France). Women video artists are particularly celebrated, notably with the exhibitions ‘Moving Women’ and ‘Fucking Beautiful’, as well as animation films as they combine the gallery’s main focuses, moving images and drawings. Analix Forever believes that working with artists is a long-term commitment, and accompanies them over different life steps, sometimes over decades. Analix Forever believes in “acting utopias”: it acts, locally and internationally, on the ideals it defends. Since 2023, Analix Forever shares ideas and creative methods to elaborate peace experiments together with artists.
