SO HAPPY

Joëlle de La Casinière - Michel Bonnemaison
Joëlle de la Casinière herself, barefoot against an abandoned and ravaged metropolitan background, promotes her book ’Absolument nécessaire’ (‘An Emergency Book’) during an interview/happening with a broadcast delay. “Nothing is true, everything is permitted”.

The crowded streets of New York City turn into fictive, cinematographic scenery. Provost is playing with our collective memory, its cinematic codes and narrative languages questioning the boundaries between a staged, suggested reality and authentic fiction...

RUE FRANCIS

François Vogel
From the balcony of an apartment at the Parisian rue Francis a camera embodies the fixed centre of a visual journey: an immobile eye which, due to variable focus, is mobile at the same time. The result is a whirlwind of perspectives, edited in a way that is not apparently subject to rhyme or reason...
