In a house isolated from the rest of the world, Léo and Nicolas are busy creating Vivarium, a video game in which we witness the rotting of an uninhabited house. A game that strangely echoes the place where the protagonists struggle to cohabit.

Through his films and other narrative devices, Nicolas Bailleul explores the terrain of the interior in the age of connected networks. In particular, he is interested in new amateur practices (designated or claimed as such), using and diverting their captat ion tools and invest iting/infiltering their spaces of dissemination and encounter. Nicolas documents, fict ionnalizes and narrates his explorat ions. Since October 2020, he has been a doctoral student in research-creation at Université Paris 8 under the direction of Patrick Nardin and the co-direction of Gwenola Wagon.
