This short documentary explores the origins of the collaboration between Carla Arocha and Stéphane Schraenen, tracing how a shared artistic language emerged from parallel sensibilities that existed even before they met. Through conversations with the artists, fellow artist Dennis Tyfus, and an interview with curator and art historian Philippe Pirotte, the film explores collaboration as a conscious artistic position rather than a division of roles. Carla Arocha and Stéphane Schraenen: Monograph as Project forms a central thread within the film: a publication that weaves together twenty years of shared practice with earlier works and sketches, revealing affinities that predate the collaboration. The film offers an intimate reflection on co-authorship and on their artistic practice.
