This film is currently not available.   

Experimental analog and digital video (dual screen).
Media: scratched 16mm film and scratched 35mm photographic film + digital video.

This video reveals a space that first opens outward (toward nature, the sea), then closes in on itself within an enclosed environment. The intimate merges with nature. A form of narration emerges. The images function as clues to a fiction or a reality. It is a story in which nothing happens, where time is suspended in the silence of the image.

This is a 3’58 video installation (double projection, 16mm film scraping, 35mm photo film scraping, digital video), created in 2012/2013. The project’s starting point was the use of homonyms, specifically the words themselves. The installation is accompanied by an edition on homonyms, a purely typographic publication.
Dimensions: 4:3 – double projection
Year: 2013
Materials: 16mm film and digital video – experimental video in dual projection
Duration: 3 minutes and 58 seconds

This video reveals a space that alternately opens onto the outside (nature, the sea) and folds back into itself. A form of narration gradually takes shape. The images act as traces of either fiction or reality. It is a narrative in which nothing occurs, where time is suspended in the silence of the image.

To contemplate, to wait, to exist outside of time—timeless.
To allow for psychic absence, for dreaming.
To drift across the ocean of illusions.
To take time. To grasp it, to occupy it, or on the contrary, to let emptiness settle in.
To look, to feel, to experience… to breathe. Breath.

An erotic interlude.
To let oneself be overwhelmed by the instant. A suspended moment. A moment revealed in the light of film in the process of developing.

Nature intrigues and destabilizes, as it is inhabited by mystery. It awakens imagination, fears, and dreams. It inspires. In this experimental video, intimacy intertwines with nature. Secrets are submerged within each of them. A natural balance emerges between the two.

We no longer know where we are: in a dream? A lucid dream? Or a nightmare?

Solitude, open space—the body becomes lost, merges, seeks to dissolve into its environment. Darkness attempts to invade the image, whether still or in motion.
