A Leaf of Winter
We all carry our leaves, some of winter, some of spring and summer. But all leaves grow, breathe and wither with time; and so do we.
Faux fluides
Faux fluides is a eclectic story of the quest for one's identity. Through a collage of texts by Antonin Artaud and Samuel Beckett, this video cynically pursues and dismantles the Freudian theory of self. "There is a reserve of fluids somewhere in me which releases false liquids, believing to have modelled for me an eternal, internal body. It is, however, non-fluid beings who have assembled them, in order to dip into them."
I'll Never Forget the Last Time
