Chant IV

NRLong slides of images and sounds reveal the subtle mysteries of a forgotten Eros embodied by Aloual, the fetish actor. A captivating profane ceremony where drawings, photos, objects, assemblages, paintings and fragments of films interpenetrate in strange hybridizations. Slides between digital and film that also cross the territories of Thanatos to resurface in the energy of a wild and joyful dance.

2.3Dansité is the visualization, in cinematic space and time, of two bodies in motion; mobile, immobile, intertwined, broken, tense, restrained, suspended between heaven and earth, sand and rock, they suddenly stop, fixing the eternity of the moment.

Lithophonie
1977
NRPeter Morin' show, deliberately narrative, fantastical and symbolic, was calling for a cinematic transposition in which objects, actions, gestures, without losing anything from their power, would be used differently, liberated from real time, linearity, theatrical space. The use of cinematic language (i.e. numerous framings, dark and light opposition, camera motion, superimpositions, different rhythms at the editing) permitted this transposition.

Désespérément
1972
8.5The first series of a film whose course is in parallel with the life of the author. Unlike a newspaper, however, any realistic, everyday element is excluded. Only one theme will carry through the whole work: the expectation of death, its presence at every moment of life, the inexorable advance of time which, hour after hour, day after day, season after season, marks every face, every body transforms every look, invests every place in its light, its forms, its colors, asserts itself in the face of what man believes eternal: the ebb and flow of the sea, the mass of rocks, their stone works.

Lied en ré mineur

The aim of my approach is to bring together in these Dialogues what separates us from what is essential, to build a special relationship between the sound and the visual that I want to share with everyone in their differences. Finally, these Dialogues are built and created over time.
