Catalogue > At random

A monotonous silence envelops a group of men and women who are each standing still in front of their houses in a residential area. As the camera moves among them, they fall, one by one, in a random pattern. Their collapses are clearly irrevocable. The movement of the performers from immobility to choreographed descents is a contemporary reinterpretation of the macabre dance of the Middle Ages. The film questions the fatality of the human body and our individual and collective responsibilities in our complex time.

In her multidisciplinary work, which uses both photography and video, the represented body becomes a mirror that is able to unsettle, to question and to move the audience. Through the use of melodramatic codes of cinema, through the painful sensation of a resisting body and through the play that emerges from absurd situations, she interrogates and confronts the viewer with the role of the body in our social interactions and in our contemporary environment.
