Charlotte Rampling is standing and wearing a black dress, she seems to be at a formal party. Only her face and chest are slightly moving. Her smiling expression evoke the usual courtesy behaviour, or a few insignificant comments to an interlocutor off camera, whereas the langague she employs is violent and filthy. This video explores the principles of duality, of division using contraries. The calm and refinement of Charlotte Rampling's personality creates a gap with the violent and filthy comments she does. The chosen mode for the rosary of insults creates a gap aswell, it is rhythmed in accordance with the tibetan Mantras (syllables - prayers) repeated as chopped psalmodies. Here we find another gap : the use of a technique for different purposes than the usual ones, since it is about to pronounce secular words using the Mantras' mode, in a spirit opposite of the prayer's one.

Myriam Bornand, french-swiss artist, works and lives in Marseille, France. The general artistic process explores recurrent themes : the one and division, the center, the opposites, the stratums, the manipulation by the image, the automatism of the thought. Various techniques are used to treat these questions : collages, painting, video, writing, installations, serigraphy, gathering, photographs. The development of concepts is interlocked with the way of reproducing visually their problems. They are generally explored by series, which is the case of "Future is Back", a work composed of three parts : the Insults, the Scissors and the Tears. Exhibitions : LA PASSERELLE . 2001 .
