BECAUSE IT LACKS A DOOR THAT HOUSE

Video, color, sound, 3'12

I've lost a whetstone and a pick,
Because it lacks a door, that house.
Inside, the darkness is so thick,
Ten owls could scarcely catch a mouse.

- FRANÇOIS VILLON

GENERATION

Video, color, sound, 3'22
Violaine Boutet de Monvel, 1985/2002/2009

Somehow, as a toddler, I could not understand the concept of generation, as in recording and restitution, and this would get to me. Somehow, as an adult, this question has become less technical and more human, and this still gets to me.

SELF-(DE)-EXPOSURE

Video, color, no sound, 2'38

, 2008

Following the movement of a crescendo which is sustained by bursts of light, video layers slowly disturb and hijack an intimate situation from its primary aim. The principle applied in Self-(De)-Exposure is 'the more, the less.'
